Singer Songwriter Lessons.

' I start with a genuine care for my own work and the desire to see your music grow and prosper '

Everyone I work with makes their own choices about which direction to go in. Using my experience as a musician I assist them in finding what they're looking for in their own music

If you're new to songwriting but feel you have a song in you, I can get you started with lyrics and chords, and putting it all together,

Or

If you already write, but are interested in expanding your technique, I can oversee stages in a songs development, like;

Fine tuning lyrics
Musical ideas and accompaniment
Arrangements
Performing your songs

Lessons can include vocal and instrumental coaching, and, as I teach from my home studio, recording your music is also an option.
