Welcome to the APME Los Angeles 2024 conference. Here you’ll be able to register for the conference and update your Sched profile. A draft of the conference schedule will be available beginning March 1. At that time, you’ll be able to view the schedule and select what presentations you’d like to attend. If you have any questions, please visit our conference website or contact us at conference@popularmusiceducation.org We look forward to coming together as a community June 5–8 to consider the past, present, and future of popular music education.
Songwriting is a powerful resource for understanding ourselves and the world around us. By teaching songwriting we open the door to new learning, self-discovery and expression. I share my experience as a songwriting teacher and mentor to at-risk youth, and discuss songwriting as a tool in the classroom.
