SCHOOLYARD ASSEMBLY
SERIES: UPDATE
|
|
The
first of our songwriting workshops started on 13th of May at
Cedar Girls Secondary School, kick-starting our schoolyard workshop series
in Schools. The basic workshop introduces students to songwriting and
encourages them to pen their youthful emotions and thoughts into song.
It was endearing to see the students¡¯ faces light up as they sang
popular local compositions in front of their peers during our Q&A
sessions. We have since been to 10 schools and from teachers/students¡¯
feedback, they would like more of such workshops in 2016. ¡Þ

ELECTRONIC PAYMENT vs
TRADITIONAL CHEQUES
|
|
In order to reduce the stress and loss of post-mailed cheques, royalty payments from 2015 will be made
via interbank transfer (where possible).
Hence, we will be progressively updating member
records so that eventually, there will no longer be a need for members
to receive their royalty cheques in the mail
and then find the time to deposit the physical cheque
into their bank account.
Members who wish to update their bank details, may
do so by downloading the form HERE ¡Þ

quality demo CDs / MP3 files are also acceptable. ¡Þ
