Google is planning a series of free, open workshops for folks in Nashville. They'll be focusing on music and helping those who haven't embraced the Google empire do so with a greater likelihood of success. For most participants YouTube will be the big area of interest but Google will also provide experts covering such areas as integrating with "Google+, audience development and music publishing."

The [report](http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/industries/music/2014/10/07/google-youtube-workshops-nashville-music-industry/16875915/?ref=hypebot.com) that Google is doing a year of workshops for musicians should be good news for Nashville.

Long a bastion for country and related music forms, Nashville seems very much of the past in many ways. But country is changing, rock is growing in Nashville and there are a lot of creative people and businesses there that could use YouTube and other Google services more effectively.

Google is said to be emphasizing:

"creator education, integrations across YouTube, Google Play and Google +, audience development and music publishing."

While some in the music industry have dived into learning about all these things, Jill Napier of Music Services Inc. (which may be [these guys](http://www.musicservices.org/?ref=hypebot.com) but The Tennessean doesn't link out and the site doesn't identify anybody) says a lot of folks seem to have problems with the basics and that she regularly works with companies that don't know what to do after their video is uploaded.

Though a [YouTube Space](http://www.youtube.com/yt/space/?ref=hypebot.com) in Nashville could actually unleash a lot of pent up creativity, that's unlikely to happen in Nashville anytime soon. But, given the need, workshops sound like a great place to start.

But you know what would really open things up? A mobile YouTube Space that could land in a place like Nashville for up to a few months and facilitate an outburst of YouTube activity.
