SONGWRITING COACHING & COWRITING
AGES 16+
Strong songwriting comes from authentic and honest self-expression and exploration (which can be developed with practice, improved self confidence and encouragement) and strengthened with knowledge, pattern-awareness and craft….Songwriting is also therapeutic, cathartic, self-explorative and fun!
Whether you're an established songwriter or complete beginner I'd love to work with you to help further develop your songwriting confidence, song ideas and songwriting skills.
$70 / 1 Hour Sessions at the Garden Studio, Kambah (Weekly) or online via video chat.
Paid 8 weeks ahead in blocks
*** Note, as these are paid sessions there is no need or expectation to share co-writing credit with me for any song or lyric ideas suggested as part of these sessions. Your songs remain your own I just enjoy helping if I can!***
Book a Free 30 minute chat to meet, discuss any questions you have and how I can help you on your journey as a songwriter!
