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.
- Review by Kevin Reither on The Basics Of Pro Songwriting
Instructor Bio
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 ;)
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 it.
I started down this road years ago with the dream of being a professional songwriter. Since then in addition to my 55 cuts, I have had 2 Publishing Deals, and have played on the Grand Ol Opry Stage. Dreams come true guys. Let me help you follow yours!
