By Ratih Rimayanti on 8/1/2021

I thought it would teach me on how to create my own first song but instead it only consists of 10 tips of writing lyrics and find inspiration. No handy tutorial on how to work on melody and chords, nor any guide on song's structure.

By Lou Charmaine Tañamor on 8/26/2020

I learned so much in this course! This is highly recommended to everyone who wants to learn Songwriting from its basics to its application. Enrolling here is worth the price. I will surely be able to teach my siblings and share them this course if they want a detailed one.

By Cabe Merriman on 1/25/2018

This course is straight forward, Sandi is so real. She seem like a guanine person who really knows about songwriting. The tips are very easy to understand and broke down well. I'm gonna start applying these techniques today in my songwriting. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in improving their songwriting.

By James S on 1/6/2018

I absolutely love your course. I even listen to it on the way to work. I can't wait to start applying everything I learn and looking forward to writing better songs in 2018. Thank you Thank you Thank you! Would highly recommend

By Chloe Smith on 12/20/2017

There is a lot of really great material here and taught really well. It is definitely helping me put some of the pieces together in my songwriting. I really like how well things are explained. I have gone to a lot of workshops before and there is information in this course that I haven't heard at any of the workshops. Very well done.

By Ian davies on 12/19/2017

I was expecting a course on songwriting, this is just a download of ‘stuff’ about songwriting. Poor structure, fairly obvious tips and really bad, jumpy edits.

By Ridhish Devani on 12/10/2017

Really enjoyed this course, some ideas are simple yet we need to be reminded and get some guidance for where to begin. Really likeable personality and overall learnt what I needed for a great start to songwriting! Thank you :)

By Jim Worthington on 11/5/2017

I highly highly highly recommend this course. I got so many good ideas that I have never heard of before. Sandi is a great instructor. Definately worth the money. She really makes you think about new ways to write.

By Kasie Gorgio on 11/5/2017

This course is fantastic! I really like the teaching style and mannerisms. I like how much fun I'm having with these new tips. There is so much good advice in this course, I would think even a seasoned songwriter would learn from it. Very highly recommended!

By Kaya Kismet on 9/28/2017

I am only on lesson 6, and using some simple tricks given off the bat, I wrote an entire song. A day later and I'm still proud of it, and can't wait to keep improving upon it as I go and learn more. I've been writing my whole life, but rarely come back months later and love what I've done. I have a good feeling about this one!
