1. Our meeting on 5/16 was a huge success. Alan O'Day, hit writer, played really great arrangements of his best stuff in the up-close setting of Love and Laughter studio. We had 19 people. Alan also shared his songwriting tips and some of the ups and downs of trying to make it in this business. He shared the story behind having "Rock and Roll Heaven" recorded, and how he came to write "Angie Baby" for Helen Ready. He talked about how he learned song structure, gave tips on melody, co-writing, and lyric writing, (try to write a short story first, then pull out your lyrics. Invite the "left-brain" in later). He shared a tip that he found particularly helpful: Write 10 minutes every day. He said it can really help build your self-esteem by having the discipline to commit to a little bit every day, and said you'd be amazed at what you can do with just 10 minutes a day. Overall a productive and entertaining evening. Thanks Alan for your humorous, down-to-earth approach. Check out Alan's latest stuff at www.alanoday.comWe also thanked Joey Arreguin and Mike Anderson for their support and guidance. Joey said even though the studio is booked for the summer, he is still available for questions at joey@loveandlaughtermusic.com

3. Temporary Choral Music Instructor for Bell Highschool
Problem: The choral teacher at Bell High School is no longer working
at the school.
He was teaching 2 periods of vocal music and 3 periods of instrumental
music
at the school. The new teacher who was hired to cover all of his classes
is an instrumental music teacher only.
The 2nd period Advanced Chorus class and 3rd period Choir class were
preparing for a performance at the beginning of June. But due to the
current lack of guidance and instruction, the students may not be
prepared for the concert.
Solution The districts Arts Education Branch would like to find a
master vocal teacher, with middle or high school teaching experience,
to work with both choral classes.
This would consist of:
* Working with the students 1 to 3 days a week (ex
Mon/Wed/Fr or Tues/Thr)
* Work with the students from May 16 to June 10.
* Teach from 9:30 to 11:30 @ $80 per day.
Bell High School 4328 Bell Ave, Bell CA 90201
