SONGWRITING

Book SONGWRITING LESSONS today!

Songwriting is a musical instrument unto its own. They say you only write your hit song after writing at least 100 songs. This means practice, pushing through the half complete, half finished songs (thanks writers block) and seeing it as a tool to learn. In these lessons you will discover a writing process that is most comfortable and familiar to you. What inspires you? Do lyrics come first? Or is it the melody?

These continuous one on one practical songwriting sessions will introduce you to the tools and techniques you need to write your first song or 100th. If you are looking to write professionally, these lessons are created to challenge you to write within specific briefs and different genres.

“Nicola is a talented, patient, kind, and extremely helpful teacher and an accomplished musician who has helped me in so many ways to improve both my singing and my songwriting. She is very encouraging while keeping you on track to do things correctly as well as develop your own style. I have improved dramatically in both disciplines. I have and will continue to go to Nicola for all my singing and songwriting needs and would not hesitate recommending her to anyone who is looking for a great teacher and experience.”
