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
lesson combined with your personal drive to become the best you can be.

These are just a portion of the knowledge, skills, and techniques that you can learn from working
with My Songwriting Coach. Of course, just learning about a bunch of techniques doesn’t make
you a good writer. 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.
