Workshops

MYMF works to empower musicians to take their craft to the next level. Our first 2024 workshop series is called “How To Make a Record” This series has concluded. Check back soon for upcoming workshop.

Song Shares

We believe one way to get to the next place in writing is to tell your story. Song shares are informal get togethers where musicians do what they do best and play their songs in a supportive listening environment. Though critiques can be valuable, generally these gatherings are designed to be a safe space to share something new without the pressure or “getting it right”. Click blue button for details.

Performances

Another way to ensure musicians have a good career is to provide opportunities for them to work. We believe one vital part for creativity is to have somewhere to express it. To provide these performances for all people is our goal including a focus on under served communities such as nursing homes, schools, and more.

 

Under-Served Communities

Baked into the process is a goal of serving communities that are often overlooked. Keeping this in mind with everything we do, we look to amplify voices of the black and brown community by not only providing opportunities for them but to have representation on our own team. We pledge to not only bring music to communities like the elderly but give opportunities to musicians to perform for these communities. This uplifts the musicians and the communities they serve. We have worked in partnership with Story Point Senior Living and are looking to expand into other communities.

Annual Report

Community Focused

Often times the singer songwriter job can be isolating. Working in a home studio, performing sets with just a guitar, and putting music out their sometimes with little response. Whether it’s a Song share, workshop, or performance opportunity it is all about bringing people together and providing a space to create.
