    The atmosphere of this class was very supportive. Everyone there wanted to learn something and share projects and assignments that we were asked to do on a weekly basis. The teacher was very knowledgeable, a total pro. He had an easy-going, approachable style of teaching which was appreciated by all.
  • Songwriting Level 1: 10 Week Workshop (Online)

    Anonymous review on 12/8/2017
    Hands down the best class I've ever taken. Jody Gray created a wonderfully talented, supportive community. The entirety of class time was spent effectively each week, through analyzing examples and discussing technique, among other things. Jody was very knowledgable and prepared to answer any questions. Listening to student's work every week was inspirational and motivational, and sharing your own work was safe in the classroom. I'll be taking level 2 with Jody next semester.

    Anonymous review on 12/7/2017
    I loved coming here every week. The class has people of all levels who are pure beginners or have always been writers. Listening to people’s work every week was inspiring and very effective in getting you to break through in your own writing. Jody is wonderful and the people were wonderfully kind and talented. I will be doing Songwriting II.

    Rob is phenomenal, he's so passionate about songwriting and helping his students become inspired to do what they love to do. I've learned so much and I would recommend everyone of any skill level to take this class if they're interested in song writing, even if it's just a hobby or interest. Most people in the class are musicians or are people who want to be in the industry. A few people, like myself, have no experience at all, but everyone on every level got something out of the class.
