Workshops/Competitions

Jenny Phillips & Tyler Castleton have teamed up to put on an annual LDS Music Industry Workshop (held in the summer) for those interested in breaking into the LDS Music Industry and for those who like to sing and/or write music who would like to refine their skills. Each year there are two competitions held in conjunction with the workshop: A vocal recording compettition (open to males and females ages 16-40) and an LDS songwriting competition (open to males and females of any age).

• Record in a professional studio with Tyler Castleton or Jenny Phillips and compete to record on Jenny Phillips’ youth theme CD.
• Get your songs critiqued by top LDS songwriters and enter the 2010 LDS Songwriting Competition
• Learn about breaking into the LDS music industry as a vocalist, recording artist, and/or songwriter
• Improve and refine your vocal and/or songwriting skills
• Rub shoulders with and learn from top LDS producers and artists

The 2010 Workshop took place on July 17th, 2010. Information on the 2011 Workshop will be posted on this page as it becomes available. Make sure to join Jenny’s email so you can be the first to be notified as soon as registration opens.
