Imagine taking a songwriting class from a songwriter who has “made it.” You can! Steve Seskin has written seven number one songs, including Grammy-nominated “Grown Men Don’t Cry,“ recorded by Tim McGraw, and “Don’t Laugh at Me,“ winning NSAI Song of the Year and Music Row Magazine Song of the Year in 1999 as recorded by Mark Wills. Steve enjoys teaching; he is an insightful, helpful and charismatic teacher.
Steve has been invited by Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) to lecture at NSAI teaching nights in Nashville since 1995; he was invited as a guest lecturer at NSAI Spring Symposium in 1997 and NSAI Songwriting Cruise in 1998 and 1999. Steve has taught regional NSAI workshops in Los Angeles, CA, San Diego, CA, Vancouver, BC, Banff, Boston, MA, Fresno, CA, Sacramento, CA, Seattle, WA, Greenville, SC, Charlotte, NC, Washington, DC, Detroit, MI, Columbus, OH, Kansas City, MO, and Nashville, TN. He has been Staff Instructor at the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival for the past 7 years.
Since 1988, Steve has taught beginning and advanced classes for the West Coast Songwriters Association. He continues to teach about all aspects of writing lyrics and music, including critique classes. Steve has also been a guest lecturer at Berklee College of Music and on the faculty at San Francisco State University. These are just some of his songwriting workshop and song school management experiences.
As one of Steve’s students says so well, “I have benefited from Steve’s encyclopedic knowledge of songcraft at several song schools. He not only writes hit country songs on a regular basis, but is an amazingly enthusiastic, entertaining, concise and effective songwriting teacher. Long may he teach!” Steve’s songwriting courses include; Intro to Lyric Writing, Melody, Rhyming and Metaphor, Point of View, Writing/Rewriting, Inspiration, Music Business, and Collaboration.
