Description

Dear Student,

Learn top quality secrets to writing top 40 hit songs in my course! I've had EPs and songs top 10 on iTunes, on the Billboard charts, I have almost 200,000 subscribers on my music YouTube channel, and I won the Songdoor International Songwriting contest. Some of my top influencers in how I write/teach songwriting are: Taylor Swift, Sara Bareilles, Brad Paisley, All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Adele, Ed Sheeran and more!

I use exercises from 3 songwriting books: "Songwriters on Songwriting," "Writing Better Lyrics," and "Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting." I have studied and trained with top industry professionals in Broadway, Jazz, Classical and Pop music and have taught in person lessons with students from all ages and levels.

This course will take your creative passion to the next level, whatever that may be. You will become an expert songwriter, but more than that, you will be inspired to achieve any and all of your dreams, whatever they are. It's super encouraging. ALSO learn how to MAKE MONEY in music and for your art! Whether you've never written a song before and just want to try something new, or are an experienced songwriter who wants to learn some new tricks, this course is for YOU!

You will be challenged and inspired to write like you never thought you could and I look forward to working with you in the studio! :)
