Learn to write a song following basic rules of songwriting and chord progressions. Included in lessons is how to copyright and publish your songs.

I teach songwriting in popular and sacred/contemporary Christian genres. I am presently helping 2 students with their Christian originals.

I will help you learn to create melodies, find chords to fit those melodies, craft your lyrics, find different ways to create music, help you create impactful song forms, as well as answer any other question you might have.

I have been teaching over sixteen years.

I tailor each individual lesson to that persons goals, needs, wants, and styles.

My goal is to learn music the fun way. Along the way we'll learn theory, chords, scales, ear training, composition, reading music, tempo etc

Songwriting is my personal favorite way to work with music. It allows us to highlight what is unique and interesting about our individual voices and stories. Theory and technique can help, but no amount of either necessary for songwriting, nor will any amount of either automatically result in good songs. It's all about honing in on a creative vision.

I am always excited to students with this fun and potent aspect of the musical life. I respect the courage it requires to take this step, and I carefully avoid offering guidance that is overbearing or discouraging. What I will offer is a lot of experience, having written countless songs of my own over the years and also studied and taught virtually every style of song for all the masters. This gives me a wide array of tools, tips, and strategies, along with sincere feedback and encouragement. I hope you'll give it a try!
