par JB9 mai 2021
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.
par MJ27 mars 2018
Lots of good tools, but no rules! Week 5 nearly killed me. Get on top of that one early as it easily takes 4-5 times longer than the other weeks to complete.

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!!
par SO29 août 2019
You can tell that Pat has taught for a while. Everything he says is clear and concise. I've written pages of notes from each week. An amazing course
