Diagnosing a song

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode we talk about the critical thinking skills of a songwriter and the puzzle of the song.  

When your song feels like it's missing something or you might feel bored by your own song but don't know what to do to change it.  After the song is written, it's important to know what to look for on how to make the song as effective as possible.  I hope you will join me for my next online class to learn what to look for and the solutions that can make your song as impactful as possible.
