Ready to Drastically Improve Your Songwriting?
Whether you’ve never written a song in your life, or you’ve been writing for years and want to step up your game…my 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. What’s a verse, chorus, bridge, etc…and 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. I’ve 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!
I’ll also identify the most common mistakes songwriters make that instantly turn off industry professionals. If you’re currently making these mistakes, I can almost guarantee you won’t have success. Sorry…I don’t make the rules…but 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.

The instructions are clear with examples to back up every lesson. The really efficient ‘to the point’ teaching style is a lot helpful for any songwriter who feels lost and stuck in their songwriting process.
Thank you Tom <3
David Pulcifer –
Really well organized and practical course. This was exactly what I was looking for. I know a decent amount of music theory, but have never learned about traditional songwriting structure. I knew my songs just didn’t sound right in some way and this has really helped me define a better structure.
Other people have criticized this course for being too heavy on country music, and honestly I don’t think it is a major issue. The instructor makes an obvious effort to choose songs from other genres as well.
This course is about writing commercial, traditionally structured music. So, if you’re trying to be the next Bjork, this course may not be right for you. As you hear a lot in music, it’s important to learn the rules, before you try to break them. This is an excellent course on what the rules are, delivered from a very practical viewpoint of how to get your career started if you want to become a professional song writer in the music industry.

Gostei bastante da dinâmica e do conteúdo do curso, porém senti um pouco de falta de algo relacionado à progressão de acordes, mas talvez isso seja um pouco mais avançado para este início pois traz mais teoria musical
Tony Williams –
Enjoyed the course very much. Tom is very sincere and straightforward with great personality, valuable tuition, and advice. Highly recommend.
Jared Cramer –
The course was very informative and helpful. It has improved my song writing drastically and I would be willing to suggest this course to anyone who wants to improve their song writing. My only critique is that sometimes the instructor speaks very quickly, and it can be hard to understand what he is saying. Otherwise, a very well put together course. Highly recommend :)!

Great course with a ton of important information in it! The coach is a real professional and explains everything in an understanding and friendly way. I learned a lot for my next songs and I recommend this course to everyone who wants to know more about commercial songwriting.

This course is totally worth the money! As a non-native English speaker, it was easy to follow. The teacher is GREAT at explaining the basic rules of songwriting. I learned so much, thank you!
Hendrik Tarvenkorn –
This is a fantastic course. Took away many of my insecurities because I noticed that I had used quite a bit of the tools and processes described myself. On the other hand, there was plenty new to learn, too. So, highly recommended.
Yueqian Wu –
Great course! I learned a ton about song writing and have used the method to write a song, which is 100 times better than other songs I wrote before taking this course! Thanks, Tom!
Stam Hill –
At the end of the class I had a checklist that I could consult to see if my song passed muster. I know it won’t guarantee that my song will be a hit, but I know if I break too many of the rules, the chance of it being a hit will be greatly diminished. Thanks Tom, you are an excellent Teacher.
Jesse Flores –
Songwriting demystified! I am much more in-tune to the music I listen to and can follow along with the structures and other song components. Inspiration has been reignited and I can’t wait to start getting to work writing my own songs again!

What a great course for a beginner songwriter! I took this course to help with a project and do not intend to actually publish, but this really laid out how to construct a song. In some ways it validated some of my attempts at writing in the past, but it also opened my eyes and educated me in so many ways. I’d recommend this course to anyone who is just starting out learning to write songs.
