Overland Park, KS Songwriting Lessons

I've been writing songs for over 10 years in different genres, had songs placed in films, gone to many songwriting conferences and classes, and have helped many students with their own songwriting. Getting some feedback on your songs and your songwriting process can be so invaluable. I'd love to help you with this!

I help people find creative ways to unleash their unique abilities.

This is where the rubber meets the road. Your instrumental expertise is combined with theoretical knowledge, historical context, and studio technique to bring your Great American Album to life. And it's all about YOU. How do YOU want to sound? What does YOUR music sound like? Let's find out!!

I started writing songs since I was 17, I have learned that sometimes it takes a hundred songs before you get ten good ones for an album. Well versed in helping create 3 minute songs for radio airplay. If you are into progressive music like Rush and Dream Theatre, I also understand how to write songs without concern of time limit that aren't necessarily made for radio but for pure enjoyment.

Brittany teaches songwriting techniques to interested voice students for no extra cost. If a student is interested in working on both their voice and their songwriting skills, there is a wonderful option to spend half of each lesson on learning about songwriting. Brittany addresses form, lyric writing techniques, melody enhancement, and commercial appeal when teaching songwriting lessons. Students will learn the fundamentals and will bring in songs for critique!

For about five years now, I have been actually completing playable music. The past couple years, my school's jazz combo has even taken a couple of my songs to compete with at different jazz festivals. I have studied under the fantastic composer, guitarist, and teacher, Tom Hynes the past couple years. Prior to my studies, I was self taught, as a way of expanding my improvisation. I write primarily for Chamber ensembles, Jazz small ensembles, and even some pop music.

I use Handwritten, Finale and Logic pro for notation, so whichever is most convenient, I'll use. In lessons, I will ask students to bring in material they have written each week, which we will review together. I'll add some suggestions, but will not change the integrity of the music, just refine it. We shall look at composing in different styles, as well as expanding upon the styles in which the student is most interesting in pursuing.

Dave has taught songwriting for over 17+ years. He has have won songwriting competitions and been considered for artists such as Sheryl Crow and Brad Paisley.

Hi :)
I am a professional singer and piano player.
I have a band called Viva Vox and we are very popular in the whole Europe.
Beside that I am a composer, MTV songwriter, violin player and I have a bachelor degree in Music Production.

Whether you are a beginner or a professional musician, singer or a songwriter my Songwriting Lessons are far from standard ones, because songwriting is so much more than just writing a song :)

Beside learning the basic steps how to create "the world hit" we will explore the genre that you are most comfortable with, we will learn how to master the programs for composing and how to always have an inspiration for the perfect lyrics, how to compose your own song that you will be so proud of and also how to play piano (in case you don't know how to play it) because piano and composing always goes together :)

I am singing my own songs in front of 40 thousand people so let me pass on this amazing experience to you :)

p.s: Always believe in ...
