Our Purpose

 

The purpose of the not-for-profit Songwriters Association  of New Brunswick is to encourage and support songwriting in New Brunswick and to promote public appreciation of songwriting as an art form. To achieve its purpose, the Association shall :

​

  • Promote a sense of community and camaraderie among the songwriters of New Brunswick

Our Values

​

We believe that songwriting is a very rewarding and sometimes therapeutic activity. We want to share our passion for songwriting with others.  Our organizational values are:

​​

  • We believe that songwriting enhances personal well-being, supports mental health, and is a powerful outlet for self-expression.

  • The Songwriters Association is open to all individuals without negative or positive discrimination.

  • The Association is open to all song genres

  • Every songwriter is treated equally, whether a beginner or a professional

  • As an organization, we remain non-partisan and do not take stances on political issues. 

  • We nurture and celebrate songwriting as an enriching pursuit, not solely as a pathway to musical fame.

  • We strongly believe that songwriting is an art form that should be promoted as such.

  • We avoid divisive activities such as songwriting competitions or other activities that can discourage songwriters.

​

Our Vision

​

We want to create a community where songwriters can meet, exchange ideas, collaborate, grow and create lasting relationships. The songwriters association will act as a hub from which songwriting initiatives can start.
