Rob is a very engaging instructor and he provides some good songwriting ideas in this course. There are a lot of good song ideas here to use in your own compositions. I highly recommend this course.

Cool info!

By Peter Pham on 5/21/2020

I am learning to write songs and it really helps me.

By Pierre Berggren on 5/12/2020

The course was pretty much as expected. To give some constructive ctiticism I would suggest that the instructor could use a pop filter, to avoid annoying pop sounds. It would also be nice if we could see what the instructor actually played on the piano, to follow along easier in the examples. Other from that I'd say that the instructor did a quick and good "to-the-point" course. I am satisfied.

By Marlon Valenzuela on 5/11/2020

Yes, this course has been a good match for me. It's reinforcing by repetition of topics that I was somewhat familiar with, but making them much more clear at this point.
My suggestion is to improve the sound equalization of the keyboard and his narrating voice. His voice is quiet and his keyboard very loud when I have to keep changing the volume in most lectures. Just technical stuff.

By Simon Elder on 5/8/2020

Clear & concise, providing much food for thought for upcoming songs.

By Steve England on 5/3/2020
