The final song will be recorded by Steve and yours to use in whatever way you see fit. He will also provide a signed, framed lyric sheet for you as a keepsake. With Steve’s expertise, attention to detail and commitment to excellence, this process can take several days, so there is a fee ranging from $2000 - $3000 for this service depending on the nature and scope of the project. If you’d like to know more about the process, feel free to email him to discuss it further. Meanwhile here are several examples of his work that he has already created by request.

If you’d like info on the next one of these, email me or check back here from time to time and they will be posted. In the spring and summer, I often participate in song schools with other teachers. I have been at the Rocky Mountain song school for 27 years running and I’m the head of faculty at the Kerrville song school in Texas. Over the years, I have also taught at Sisters Academy in OR, Swannanoa Gathering, Summersongs, West Coast Songwriters and many more. Post Covid when I start doing more of these again, I will list them on a calendar linked to this page. Stay tuned. https://www.steveseskin.com/acoustic-concerts daily 0.75 2021-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/1614240423687-34KXSX87P36XRD34WTUJ/Steve+Seskin-Acoustic-Concerts.jpeg Steve Seskin Acoustic Concerts - Acoustic Concerts A Steve Seskin concert will have you wiping away a tear one minute and laughing out loud the next. His songs all have messages that touch the hearts of everyone: from the feelings of a little boy missing his father, to growing up and being true to yourself, to one of his most well known themes of being considerate to and respectful of one another as expressed in "Don’t Laugh at Me." https://www.steveseskin.com/keynote-speeches daily 0.75 2021-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/1618447925342-WQ7YBJ5HMEGM01WXZH2P/SteveSeskin-43.jpg Steve Seskin Keynote Speeches - Keynote Speeches Steve Seskin, co-writer of the song “Don’t Laugh at Me,” presents excerpts from one of the premier character education programs in schools today as part of his keynote address at national education conferences, kickoff regional staff meetings and many other events. The goal of the Operation Respect/Don’t Laugh at Me project is to create emotionally safe, nurturing environments for children, where they can learn academics as well as respect, compassion and how to celebrate rather than be threatened by diversity. It is not about “tolerance,” it is about acceptance. The presentation features many other songs that speak of related issues which children of all ages deal with on a daily basis. https://www.steveseskin.com/one-on-one daily 0.75 2021-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/1618867016079-JWMOUMDV6JV5ZTTURM26/Steve-Seskin-one-on-one-songwriting-coaching.jpg One on One Instruction One on one songwriting coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/1618447330701-NDQ2ZTNJUUPI1T9SZYN6/Steve-Seskin-songwriting-coaching.jpg One on One Instruction - Ongoing Coaching These sessions are for songwriters interested in going really deep, willing to rewrite their songs until they’re the best they can be. Great songs sometimes come easy and others are tedious and trying in their creation but reward us later when they’re done. I will work with you on zoom one hour at a time anywhere from 2 to 4 times a month. We will explore your lyric writing, story development, melodic and chord choices, phrasing and look for places for you to re - write and why. I like to hear the songs in advance. In any session we will work on one or two songs and then the next meeting you’ll bring the song back for another look. Most people do every other week or weekly on the same day, same time but I will be flexible to your schedule as much as possible. The cost is $150 for an hour online together but includes the time I spend prior to our meeting, coming up with ideas for you. For ongoing clients I offer a discounted four session package. If you have any questions, email me. https://www.steveseskin.com/seminars-and-webinars daily 0.75 2021-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/1618453740821-KCJ7T50Z0811UYQ0MR7R/Steve-Seskin-songwriting-seminars.jpg Songwriting Seminars and Webinars Songwriting workshops, seminars, and webinars https://www.steveseskin.com/group-classes daily 0.75 2021-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/1619541229581-6SPMP8MUB10QWJGIL376/Steve-Seskin-Songwriting-Group-Classes.png Group Classes Songwriting Group Classes https://www.steveseskin.com/media-quotes-and-pdfs daily 0.75 2021-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/553f65f9-261d-4cc6-9eaa-10aa4b32f8e0/Steve-Seskin-bio.jpg Steve Seskin Media Quotes and Pdfs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/0382f5ff-3cdd-403d-a106-814b1ba7560a/Steve-Seskin-Keynote-speaker.jpg Steve Seskin Media Quotes and Pdfs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/6347280c-afe5-40a7-93ff-019f60f52cd8/Steve-Seskin-Media-Quotes.jpg Steve Seskin Media Quotes and Pdfs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/4c6777b5-2e72-4b7e-9ea2-a4d6a34dfb75/Steve-Seskin-Songwriting-Course-Descriptions.jpg Steve Seskin Media Quotes and Pdfs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/81364417-92d7-4aea-85bc-b73da26a875e/Steve-Seskin-School-Assemblies.jpg Steve Seskin Media Quotes and Pdfs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/f049744d-ceb9-4b36-9f06-ae971c75386a/Steve-Seskin-Songwriting-workshops.jpg Steve Seskin Media Quotes and Pdfs https://www.steveseskin.com/school-assemblies daily 0.75 2021-09-02 https://www.steveseskin.com/recordings-and-videos daily 0.75 2021-06-04 https://www.steveseskin.com/bio daily 0.75 2021-08-23 https://www.steveseskin.com/about daily 0.75 2021-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/1618447524109-RTX2J7ZUHMVRLKISQ8JT/SteveSeskin-23.jpg About Steve Seskin - About Steve Steve Seskin is a successful songwriter who has written seven number one songs, including Grammy-nominated “Grown Men Don’t Cry,” as recorded by Tim McGraw, and “Don’t Laugh at Me,” winner of NSAI Song of the Year and Music Row Magazine Song of the Year as recorded by Mark Wills. His other #1 hits are “No Doubt About It” and “For a Change,” both recorded by Neal McCoy, “No Man’s Land” and “If You’ve Got Love,” both recorded by John Michael Montgomery and “Daddy’s Money,” recorded by Ricochet. Other chart toppers include “I Think About You” recorded by Colin Raye and “All I Need To Know” by Kenny Chesney. Born and raised in NYC, his first exposure to music was sitting beside his mom while she played piano and sang Broadway show tunes. When he was 12, the Beatles came to America and the music bug bit him for good. He moved to California when he was 20 and has lived in the SF Bay Area for almost 50 years, performing at clubs, festivals and house concerts along the way. He thinks of himself as a songwriter/teacher/singer in that order and loves all aspects of his musical life equally. https://www.steveseskin.com/why-i-write-songs daily 0.75 2021-06-21 https://www.steveseskin.com/educators daily 0.75 2021-08-31 https://www.steveseskin.com/kids-songs daily 0.75 2021-09-02 https://www.steveseskin.com/songcraftingseminar daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/5415a582-ff8a-4856-a0d5-a2b7a80a96ad/SteveSeskin-39.jpeg Songcrafting Seminar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601cfcd02b8fd412a037741b/bab7ce6c-fce7-48f8-b2a4-6d54f97c9045/reid_mike_headshot.jpg Songcrafting Seminar https://www.steveseskin.com/things-synopsis daily 0.75 2024-10-29
