Songwriting Made Simple Workshop
WE'RE ON A MISSION TO MAKE FAITH-BASED SONGWRITING SIMPLER.
Songwriting can be tricky. But only if you’re trying to figure it out on your own. Without the right tools and techniques, you could be spinning your wheels for months or years before you finish your first beautiful song.
Here’s the good news. It doesn’t take much to get started. And we’ve got the shortcuts, formulas, and frameworks to take you from wondering how to writing with confidence—even on your first try.
If you’d like to get these award-winning songwriting secrets and expert mentorship in a fun, in-person setting, then the Songwriting Made Simple Workshop is for you.
*DON'T WAIT TO SIGN UP!
THE WORKSHOP IS OFFERED ON A FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS, AND IS LIMITED TO 20 ATTENDEES!

SONGWRITING TECHNIQUES FOR YOU
These are some of the tools we will explore in-depth:
A “lyrics grid” even someone who failed English class can use to write coherent, meaningful, and rhyming lyrics.
The “energy curve” secret to keeping your listener’s rapt attention from the first note to the final chorus.
How to connect your chords so even rookie songwriters can fill their songs with powerful emotions.
9 master melody guidelines of the great composers and pop artists. A basic knowledge of a simple major scale is all you need to know to make the most of these melody methods.
Plus, during our 2 days together, you can share your work for critique, ask questions, and get personal feedback on your song.
