Master the Art of Songwriting
Songwriting is an art. Yet, it is also a skill that can be learned. Even
if you are already writing songs, you can get much, much better. Artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci apprenticed
under a master to learn to perfect his skills. Should you do any less?
My Songwriting Coach can help you become the best composer possible with a
weekly songwriting lesson combined with your personal drive to become the best you can be. These songwriting
lessons can help you control your creation of meaningful lyrics, catchy melody and melodies, powerful chord
progressions, and help you put them all in the perfect song form for your song. These songwriting lessons
will help you develop the songwriting power to know exactly how to write a song and especially how to pour
your own unique essence into that song with step by step training that will build all the necessary skills in
you that are needed to be a great songwriter.
Who Should Be Your Songwriting Coach?
Having a songwriting coach who is not only a successful and prolific
songwriter, but who cares as much about your success as he does his own can be a powerful base of support for
your songwriting vision. Through the songwriting lessons that we offer, you will get complete interaction on
every step you take; every lyric you develop, every melodic phrase you write, every chord progression you
build, and especially how you package it all together into a great song.

These are just a portion of the
knowledge, skills, tools and techniques that you can learn from taking songwriting lessons with My
Songwriting Coach. Of course, just learning about a bunch of techniques doesn’t make you a good
songwriter. It’s about inspiration and heart. It’s about knowing when to use what technique to get what effect.
It’s about balance, and more about what it feels like than anything else. You need to practice. You need to be
fearless. You need to be willing to grow. My Songwriting Coach will help you Master the Art
of Songwriting.

Consider Training With Us Online
My Songwriting
Coach teaches students from all over the world. It is a simple matter of scheduling mutually acceptable
time frames and holding songwriting lessons over Skype's video conferencing format or more recently, in a Google
Hangout. Unfortunately, we can only assist English speaking students as that is the extent of our language skills.
Songwriting lessons have been incredibly successful over Skype and with the video conferencing format, it's almost
like having a songwriting lesson face to face.
