Excellent songwriting advice! I have engaged a lot with Ed Bell of The Song Foundry over the past few years. I have always found his advice to be professional, informed and very helpful indeed. His book The Art of Songwriting was insightful and motivational. Also, I used his song critique service twice for feedback on early versions of my songs. Once again, the advice on improving these compositions was very useful. I highly recommend The Song Foundry and Ed Bell for the courses, books and other services.

The Song Foundry ROCKS!!! The Song Foundry (Ed Bell's internet site for all things songwriting) is a great place to find free articles on songwriting, purchase video & eBook courses on songwriting, or grab some time for personalized coaching. I think Ed Bell ROCKS! I love is his frank and honest approach to helping others learn the craft of songwriting. If you want to get better at songwriting - just head on over to thesongfoundry.com!

I started using the one on one … I started using the one on one coaching sessions on The Song Foundry in March 2021. I found the sessions honest helpful and full of constructive critique on drafts of lyrics I had written. Ed gave me the confidence to trust in my writing abilities. We worked together using the step by step process of song structure, to write lyrics from a song idea I had. I highly recommend The Song Foundry to all budding song writers.

Great information for beginners First came across The Song Foundry about three years ago, as I was trying to learn the basics about song writing. I have read a couple of the books and used the free online content and found it simple to follow and fun, and I have written several songs based around Ed's advice. Great for beginners, after that you are on your own!

Highly recommend the Song Foundry books and videos I came across Ed Bell's "The Art of Songwriting" while researching to teach my first songwriting class at a community college. Not only was the information invaluable, the writing was clear, concise and easy to read, with a friendly, conversational tone. The "How to Write a Song" video course helped me understand how to use the concepts from the book in a practical way, and I especially liked the demonstrations where Bell completes each step of the songwriting process. There are many ways to write a song, but I feel using this organized process can really help if you have not written a song before or if you have trouble finishing your songs.
