por SJ30 de ago. de 2016
If i could give this course more than 5 stars I would. It has revolutionized my approach to writing lyrics and given me tools and techniques that really blow my mind. Definitely recommend!
por SV5 de may. de 2020
There was a lot of good information contained in the course, even though a lot of it seems subjective. Some of the course content examples are inappropriate though which was off putting.
por CT22 de ene. de 2017
Pat presents with a great demeanour and covers a lot of ground in this course. I'm definitely a better songwriter for it. This includes the secret to removing writer's block.
por MB10 de dic. de 2016
A great course, learned a lot but due to not being in a position to purchase the certificate OI could not submit quizzes or assignments, such a shame as I could not get feedback
