Course Description

Ready to Drastically Improve Your Songwriting?

Whether youve never written a song in your life, or youve been writing for years and want to step up your gamemy video course will have you writing songs like the Pro's.

So there are countless books, videos, and classes that teach songwriting. What makes my video course better, or even different? Good question. All of these other sources can teach you how to write a song. Whats a verse, chorus, bridge, etcand yes, I will certainly teach you all of these things.

But in addition to the basics of songwriting, I teach you the basics of PRO songwriting. Ive been a professional and successful songwriter for over 10 years and in this course I show you the exact method my colleagues and I use to write commercial songs every day. The exact same songwriting method that has been used to write countless #1 hit songs on the pop, country, christian,and rock charts!

Ill also identify the most common mistakes songwriters make that instantly turn off industry professionals. If youre currently making these mistakes, I can almost guarantee you wont have success. SorryI dont make the rulesbut I know them, and now you can too!
Who this course is for:
Songwriters and singer/songwriters who want to make songwriting MORE than a hobby.
This course teaches songwriting with a strong emphasis on COMMERCIAL songwriting (meaning songs that make money, or songs you may hear on the radio).
The sills and tools you'll learn here apply to writing many different genres of music -pop, country, rock, christian, R&B, acoustic, singer/songwriter, Adult Contemporary, etc. Conversely, if you're writing rap, classical, or any other very specific genres, I'd recommend checking out a course that is specifically geared for your genre.

Tom Worth

Hi there! Im Tom Worth - the Pro Songwriting Coach. Ive been a professional and successful songwriter out of Nashville for almost 15 years.
So lets just get the 2 questions youre probably thinking of out of the way ;)

  1. Have I written any songs you may know?
  2. If Im a Professional Songwriter, why do I teach?
Good questions! The answer to the first isprobably.
Ive had over 55 cuts (meaning bigger artists have recorded songs Ive written). None of them have been huge hits, but theyve been on the radio and on the charts. Some have also been used in TV shows like Jane By Design, Forming The Band,and Road Rules.
Theyve also been usedinternationally in commercials for companies like Verizon. So although you may not know my songsyou probably have heard them :)
2nd question: Yes its true Im living my dream as a pro songwriter. So why do Itake time away from that to teach? That ones simplebecause I love teaching and helping songwritersfollow and reach their dreams.
I didnt know this until I was hired by Refinement Records to teach all of their artists songwriting. I loved it! After leaving Refinement, I was soon hired by the T3 Talent Agency in S. Carolina to be head of their songwriting department and develop a curriculum. I was coaching all ages, all genres, and againI loved it.
Thats when I decided to cut back on songwriting and focus on teaching. I still write with and produce artists, but Im more selective about i

Very in depth!

By Kevin Reither on 11/8/2020

I did not have high expectations for this course when I started, but I am learning a ton of great information which I am sure will help me become a better song writer.

By Karley S on 10/20/2020

Really really enjoyed this course. Fills in gaps with out anything deemed as unnecessary to the course topic. Its well designed.

Good foundation for starting songwriting

By Rico Huff on 10/15/2020

I am really impressed with this songwriting and Toms' teaching style. I am a songwriter and I possessed information on this topic already. However, this class has shown me that there is always something new to learn that will cause growth and expand your knowledge on any given subject. My personal writing practices have changed drastically in a relatively short amount of time. I am elated that I found this class and will definitely inform other serious songwriters that Toms' songwriting course is a must if you want to set yourself apart; especially in a world of wanna be's. Thank you Tom for sharing your invaluable information with a community of avid learners and seekers of knowledge.

By Melissa Bean on 10/7/2020

I absolutely love this course. I have always wanted to write songs but I wasn't sure how to get started. I feel like I finally understand the process and feel like I can begin writing now. I can't recommend this course enough!

By Richard Andr Desjardins on 10/2/2020

Dbut trs clairement expliqu. On traite d'un type conservateur et standardis de chanson. Cela suit le titre du cours.
Je viens de terminer #19. Trs clair, excellents exemples. Les sous-titres ne disent pas la mme chose que le narrateur et sont donc inutiles.

By Marino Lemons on 9/18/2020

So far so good. I'm actually learning elements that I've always used without any reason or rhyme.

Wow, I enjoy listening to the lecture. I've heard many songs, but only now, I discovered how they were composed.
