“Though the echo on music is corny the rest of the content is beneficial. The interviews are informative. Keep in mind that these are made to direct you to the courses which allow you to put the theory into practice. There will be an encouragement for you to start and keep writing.”

“Just started listening and have found this series a great way to get going. Motivational and with helpful concepts and small things that are overlooked.
Had a roadblock over a melody but finished it while listening to episode three. What more can I say.”
