This seminar was co-organised by NTU-Music Express 14 and VI Music, which it aims to inpire budding songwriters and educate the public on music composing.


Participants are from VI Music, many of them are songwriters and experienced performers.
The turnout for the seminar was pretty good. The crowd was young, mainly comprised of tertiary students and young adults.








Many of our own VI students also took time off to support us at NLB. Many thanks to you guys!!!







Our pretty emcee-Lilian interviewing Lester (VI's founder) and Zhiwen (VI's music instructor/music producer) at the start of the seminar. Both established songwriters have shared their experience in songwriting and their views on the current music industry.







An interview with our very own VI writer- Mark. He has written song for 辛晓琪 (空窗) and 赖雅妍(知觉). Apart from song composing, Mark is also active in the music scene, with experiences in music production and performances. He is now busy with the SuperBand 2 competition by Channel U, where he plays the keyboard for the band 三月. 加油Mark and friends!!! Hope all of you can give them your support!

Our new writer- Koksong sold his first song to Jordan Chan this year...He is a "活招牌" or learning example whom starts from stretch on music composing and works his way up till he sold his first song....Congrats Koksong....
Yao Wen presented the song -
