TOP REVIEWS FROM SONGWRITING: WRITING THE LYRICS
This is a great course to help people get started in songwriting. It really introduces you to some great concepts to get you started and moving towards a finished product. Loved it.
A great course, learned a lot but due to not being in a position to purchase the certificate OI could not submit quizzes or assignments, such a shame as I could not get feedback
This course helped me get over the hump of not being able to write songs. I want to thank Sir Pat for helping me organize my ideas and refine them so that I can tell good stories. Thank you sir!!
Pat presents with a great demeanour and covers a lot of ground in this course.
I'm definitely a better songwriter for it. This includes the secret to removing writer's block.
