Dear Passengers,
I'm more than a little obsessed with you. Not quite like a stalker, but I've made it my life's work to help you get record deals, publishing deals and film and TV placements.
I never stop thinking about it. My family and friends worry about me a little. They tell me to get a life.
I remain obsessed :-)
Lately, I've been trying to understand what you want when you google the word, "songwriting?"
Are you looking for tips and techniques about songwriting? Are you looking for message boards, forums, blogs or resources about songwriting? Are you trying to learn how to write better songs?
And why do you want to get better at it? Do you want to write HITS, or is it your hobby?
Looking at some old surveys and emails from TAXI members, I realized that no matter what your motivation is for writing better songs, you share one thing with nearly every other songwriter, artist and composer on the planet.
You Want to Get Your Music Heard,
and You Want it to Happen Now!
You also know that your music has to be great to make that happen. But do you want to wait for years, or do want results you can hear starting tomorrow?
I always read the Quick Start Guide when I buy new software or gear, don't you?
So, what's the Quick Start Guide for better songwriting techniques? How can you jump ahead in leaps and bounds with less work and faster, better results?
The TAXI Road Rally!
Our convention is the fastest way to learn to write great songs and succeed in the music business. Here's why you can't afford to miss this ultimate treasure trove of songwriting tips and techniques. A couple of comments from people who came last year;
"This was my first Rally and I was expecting it to be great, but when I tell you that it was life-changing, I'm not exaggerating even one bit."
- Kelly Greene
"I read all the testimonials saying that getting free tickets to the Rally alone was worth the membership fee, but I still had my doubts. After experiencing it first hand I could not agree with them more!"
- Thomas Courtney

Here's How to Get Your
TWO FREE Tickets...
Join TAXI and they're yours for the taking! If you've been thinking about joining TAXI anyway, what better reason could you have for joining now than this?
Remember, other music conventions cost $200-$600 per ticket. But, when you join TAXI, you'll get a ticket for you AND a friend for FREE. Sounds like hype, doesn't it?
I'll show you what the panels and classes are in a minute, but first, read this comment posted on a message board by a guy while he was actually at another top convention:
"Honestly, with the price tag (a couple hundred depending on when you signed up), or even if it were free, it's definitely nowhere near as valuable as the TAXI Rally."
Name withheld to protect this guy's anonymity, but you can see the whole quote on our Forum @ TAXI.com
"It's Worth the Price of Membership at
THREE Times the Cost."
"The Rally DID live up to the " hype." All of the seminars were very informative and were worth the membership fee at three times the cost!!" - Randy Merrill
"I go to several conferences a year in the computer industry. These are high priced events ($1500 - $2000 registration), and none of them even come CLOSE to TAXI conference. The Rally is the best run, best organized, and content filled conference I've ever been to." - Pat Waara
What's In It for You?
"In four days, I was able to amass information, wisdom and contacts that could have taken a decade or more to acquire by any other means - if ever at all." - Aub Delane
"If someone has found a company that offers more opportunities in so many aspects of this business please tell me." - Lee Johnson
"I traveled 16,000 kilometers from Johannesburg, South Africa to come to the Rally. It was worth every cent." - Rob Richards
