Some of our board members and professionaly-published songwriter members offer classes to songwriters looking for help with their songs.
Harriet Schock, a multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated song writer has been
teaching her renowned step-by-step method for thirty years since she
taught at USC.
Structure, melody, harmony, storytelling,
clarity, and visual lyric writing are all addressed so that the
songwriter ends up with a song that has emotional impact on the
listener. Classes are open now.
Do you want to improve your songwriting? You do, right? Well, I figured out a long time ago that all good songs -- rock, pop or country -- all have five fundamental elements. These are my five building blocks and I've used them in every song I've written including those recorded by KISS, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Chicago, Merle Haggard, Art Garfunkel and the many other artists who've cut my material. I've now made these five building blocks the foundation of my "Write Like a Pro" series of audio lessons and I promise they can help boost your songwriting to a higher level too.
