Take a look at what some of my top students have to say about this course
“It’s such an awesome summarization of the entire creative process from the very beginning—arranging, instrumentation, chord selection—right through to rock-solid fundamentals of mixing that take your track from demo to release-ready.”
“I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s a really beautiful course, delivered with levity, packed with tools that not only teach the fundamentals but also push your creativity further than you thought possible.”

“I went looking for a course like this multiple times in my life and have never been able to find anything to this level—until now. This course has basically turned me into somebody with a lot more confidence in my ability to be creative… to get from a blank page to a completely produced song.”
- David
The songwriting and production courses gave me clear, practical tools that made it much easier to bring my ideas to life, with game-changing methods like the Chord Guide, mood menu, and core description.
I especially value the seamless workflow from songwriting into recording, which makes matching lyrics and chords simple and helps me capture ideas before they disappear.
