This course was fabulous. I’ve been taking many of the songwriting courses on Udemy. Many are good, some are excellent, and some are just not overly helpful. But Eve’s course is one of the excellent courses. I highly recommend that you purchase her course and you will definitely come away having learned a great deal. And you’ll have fun going through the course. Well, at least I found it a wonderful value. Cheers my fellow songwriters.

Great course. Love the wire framing structure for songwriting. Loved that you talked about the business of songwriting a little too and how to deal with people in a professional way when songwriting. I even came up with a hook for a new song while watching one of your lectures. Excited to put this knowledge into practice. Thank you!

WHY THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO BE A PROFESSIONAL SONGWRITER OR TO UP YOUR SONGRWITING GAME

Do you want to make a living from songwriting? Have you already started down that road or want to know how to make songwriting a career? Would you like to refine your craft or judge whether or not your music is ready to pitch to the industry? Or do you just want to get good at songwriting?

This is the course for you if you want to release music that gets noticed. In this course you will learn methods of songwriting used by top songwriters and publishers across the world. It will help you break out of any limitations in your current ways of writing music. We also study the business side of being a professional songwriter so by the end of the course you can start earning money from your music and build a professional reputation.

I am not simply teaching my own personal methods of writing like a lot of songwriting courses. I have witnessed these methods used by multi platinum writers and producers in studios I have worked in across the world. I also hold a Master of Music degree in Songwriting and am a contributor to Songwriting Magazine in the UK so these methods are backed up by research and study as well as a successful career as a commercial songwriter.

HOW DOES THIS COURSE WORK?

This course is designed to help you write beautiful music then publish and market it. We will look at what makes a commercially viable song, starting with learning to write lyrics, melodies and hooks and song forms. The course also covers music publishing (different types of publishers and deals), copyright, PROs (the organisations which collect royalties), marketing your music and organisations that are there to help. Each section has practical songwriting tasks to complete and there are invaluable opportunities to get feedback on your songwriting from a published commercial songwriter with a Master's degree in Songwriting.

By the end of the course you will be able to

• Write stronger melodies
• Write stronger lyrics
• Write stronger hooks
• Be paid royalties for every eligible performance of your music
• Market and brand yourself as an artist/songwriter
• Know how to evaluate the commercial potential of your songwriting 
• Understand copyright
• Find cowriters
• Know how and when to find a music publisher
• Find cuts (when an artists records your song) and syncs (when your song is placed in TV, film, commercials etc)

ABOUT YOU

The course is suitable for writers in all genres. You will need intermediate music theory or be working towards it. If you are a singer but not an instrumentalist, the course is still for you. If you are new to songwriting the course will set you up with sound principles. If you are more experienced it will help you refine your ways of working and advance your career.
