LESSONS

Reach out to me to schedule a free 10-minute call to talk about your goals and interests.

“Nearly everything that I’ve done was to see what would happen if I did this instead of that.”

- Robert Rauschenberg

As the artist Robert Rauschenberg suggests, creativity is decision-making; one decision leads to the next. People usually become blocked because they haven’t given their creative minds any decisions to work on. Songwriting is creative problem-solving, choosing this versus that. The goal of my 1-ON-1 teaching is to bring to your creative process the full range of possibilities for you to choose between.

​

"Should I add a walk up from E minor to G here?"

​

"What if I passed through a secondary dominant chord on my way to A minor?"

 

"Should I use the major or minor II chord here?"

​

"How can I move to the bridge section in a less predictable way?"

​

"What's the impact of a shortened line length on the last line of a verse?"

​

These are the kinds of questions that occur to experienced songwriters throughout the songcrafting process. Working 1-ON-1, I can teach you which questions to ask and when to ask them when it comes to your songs, your music.

​

Over time, your knowledge of all the possibilities will expand and deepen so you can apply it to pen and paper every time you sit down to write.

​

I look forward to working with you.
