Tailored Songwriting Lessons from Professional Writer with Songwriting MA
course price icon
Von 30.48 Fr /Std
arrow icon
My lessons are heavily tailored to the needs and interests of my students, whether that be learning to write/edit/improve lyrics and melodies, a crash course in music theory, putting chord progressions together, finishing songs and developing productive routines, or adding some accountability and objective feedback to your process.

Working as a professional songwriter and studying MA Songwriting has equipped me with a wealth of tools to sharpen the technical craft of a song and to harness the creative process to bring the best out of other songwriters. In lessons, I draw from this to help new writers develop their own unique voices.

I'm a big believer in constantly writing and sharing so I like to set weekly briefs to encourage you to write in new ways and then give detailed and constructive feedback that will help you grow. I know from experience that sharing new songs can be unnerving so I take a lot of care helping people overcome this hurdle.

Outside of classes, I'm open to discuss songs, technique, career goals, co-writing, learning resources, and other topics that will help you develop as a songwriter.

I'm a professional songwriter with over nine years writing experience and countless co-writes in the tank. I regularly write with artists in the UK, around Europe, and in the US and have recently started taking my first production clients. As a writer, I'm primarily concerned by the lyric, form and structure side of writing but, with guitar as my main instrument, also usually write the majority of the musical elements.

My specialities are in alt-pop, indie-rock, acoustic pop, and folk but also have experience in RnB and country.

Über mich
I'm a friendly professional songwriter with seven years of writing experience and countless co-writes in the tank. As a writer, I'm primarily concerned by the lyric and craft side of writing but, as often as not, also compose musical elements.

My specialties are in folk, Americana, pop/rock, and country but am also experienced in R&B, soul, rap, and indie-rock.

Erfahrung / Qualifikationen
I've recently finished a Songwriting Masters' at ICMP in London, for which I received a Distinction, and am currently co-writing with a diverse range of artists for a number of professional projects.

In my Major Repertoire Project at the end of the course, I studied the roles played by the co-writer in writing sessions and this gave me a great insight into the collaborative process and equipped me to be a better-rounded collaborator.

In 2017 I completed my BA (Hons) in English and American Studies which gave me a solid foundation for lyric writing and my time as an editor on the student magazine gave me a sharp eye for song editing.

I'm a firm believer in tailoring the lessons to the needs and interests of the student to ensure they make progress in the right direction whilst staying interested and challenged. This means that I'm interested in finding out how you want lessons to go, whether that be learning your favourite songs, learning new chords, studying technical skills, understanding scales, or something completely different.

My lessons are appropriate for beginner to intermediate students and I also teach songwriting and music theory lessons for those interested in learning.

Outside of classes, I'm open to discuss songs, technique, career goals, co-writing, learning resources or whatever else will help you develop as a musician.

I'm a professional songwriter, guitarist, and producer who has been playing since the age of six and have experience in an array of styles but predominantly focus on folk, indie-rock, pop, country, and R&B.

I'm an experienced tutor who has taught scores of students with a range of abilities, interests, ages, and backgrounds.

My method is ... LEARN BY MAKING YOUR MUSIC!

The student will learn techniques, stylistic elements, tricks ... already by working on his first tracks: to keep motivation and satisfaction high, the result is always visible!
The lessons are face-to-face and personalised according to the level of experience and the musical style of the student. The presentation of the information is clear and accompanied by practical examples.

I'll show you how to:
- use Ableton Live,
- program and control synthesizers and virtual instruments,
- use microphone and sound card to record your voice and your instruments,
- process sound with effects (plugins) and optimize it for diffusion (mixing and mastering),
- make your songs, from start to the last details.

I also speak Spanish, French, German and Italian.

If you want to play any kind of Contemporary Music on any kind of Instrument, I have a full recording and livestreaming studio, with almost all the instruments, and I play them all.

My class is for anyone interested in music as a tool for life. The focus is to learn how to play an instrument and also cultivate mindfulness habits. I have taught with my own method for 20 years to hundreds of students from all walks of life.

We start our session with a short mindfulness exercise and then you'll learn how to play your chosen instrument through your favourite songs. If you're interested we can also then start to learn how to write songs and even record them!
