Siobahn Hotaling is a talented musician who has received mentorship from Grammy-award winning songwriter Phil Galdston. She began her career at 16 with a show in front of 300 people as part of an acoustic duo, and has since gone on to publish two solo EPs. In 2013, the strength of Siobahn Hotaling’s songwriting led to her being accepted to the New York University (NYU) Summer Songwriters Workshop (SSW).
One of several NYU musical programs, SSW is a two-week seminar that helps songwriters hone their art. Led by Phil Galdston, the workshop maintains a faculty of experienced and successful songwriters who provide presentations that explore the key skills in songwriting. SSW also offers hands-on writing work, opportunities for collaboration, and a useful peer review system. The program accepts 42 students annually, who are split into two groups. Applicants must be 15 or older to qualify, and the course is open to everybody from high school and college students to working professionals. You must pay a $55 non-refundable fee to apply, with the course and on-campus housing fees adding up to around $3,500 for the two-week workshop. Applicants must also submit lyrics and recordings for three songs they’ve contributed to, along with detailed descriptions of their contributions and a summary of their songwriting goals.
