Thus far, I'm led to believe Steve is out to make learning song writing a fun experience by making the journey entertaining as the lessons go by. Obviously, his background has given him a fair amount of insight and he shares it well.

By Rajan Kumar on 11/22/2020

Great course explaining most of the things in a clear and concise way in such a short time.

Fantastic!

By P.J. Vongsavang on 11/22/2020

I'm a self-taught musician with 30 years of experience and, even in the early sections of this course, I'm finding the material valuable.

By Eric Kim on 10/22/2020

I will not make this review long because lengthy words are not needed to describe this course. Simply put, if you want to write a song but feel like you can't because you don't know anything about music or blah blah blah excuses, you will in fact write your first song after completing this course.

It's like: I was sure that becoming an astronaut was impossible. Then I took this course and landed on the moon.
Not that I can already. I've just looked at the course once. But for the first time in my life I have an inkling that I will be able to write songs.
And there are still treasures in the treasure: there is still so much helpful in inconspicuous sentences.
I know, moon is an often used metaphor (?), but it is the deeply sincere description of what you gave me with your course.
I thank you so much Steve !
