This Course is so well made by Steve Glazer Some things which I liked about this Course 1. The Instructor is so passionate & Humble 2. It discusses the basics of music 3. As a Grade 5 music theory student, I had no idea about how to write a song but this really helped me understand Music in a Practical way 4. Later in course, we discuss Chords and Scales in both Guitar & Piano then we discuss Lyrics 5. This Course serves as a Basement if you want to build your skills in songwriting

Hi There! My name is Steve Glazer.

I’ve been a full-time professional singer, guitarist and music coach for two decades. I'm also a published songwriter.

I was personally trained by the same elite vocal coach that taught some of the biggest musical icons in the world.

I’ve been a signed artist to a great Indie label in Austin, TX (Fiesta Red Records) and I’ve performed in major cities all around the United States.

I founded STRUM Music School in Austin, TX where we helped hundreds of aspiring musicians reach their goals and skyrocket their abilities beyond what they ever thought possible.  I sold STRUM in 2015 to pursue teaching the rest of the world how to sing. :)
