Harriet Schock, a multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated song writer has been teaching her renowned step-by-step method for thirty years since she taught at USC. She teaches her method online by private personal email between the student and herself. Each step is sent by email and reviewed by her, personally, answered and then the next step is sent. Going through the steps, students end up with one song and a technology for writing songs in the future that exercises every muscle of the songwriting process. Structure, melody, harmony, storytelling, clarity, and visual lyric writing are all addressed so that the songwriter ends up with a song that has emotional impact on the listener.

Do you want to improve your songwriting? You do, right? ​

Well, I figured out a long time ago that all good songs -- rock, pop or country -- all have five fundamental elements. These are my five building blocks and I've used them in every song I've written including those recorded by KISS, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Chicago, Merle Haggard, Art Garfunkel and the many other artists who've cut my material.

I've now made these five building blocks the foundation of my "Write Like a Pro" series of audio lessons and I promise they can help boost your songwriting to a higher level too.
