Really amazing guidance… Really amazing guidance compositionally. Ed works well helping in any and all musical/compositional styles and has helped me improve a lot.

The Art of Songwriting The Art of Songwriting by Ed is the best book about creativity that I have ever read. Balancing theory, thinking and feeling in equal measure, really helps you to find your own way to approach songwriting, and to identify as a songwriter.

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!

Be creative, stay creative and write, write, write! The Song Foundry isn’t another set of ‘rules’ or ‘hacks’, it’s a refreshing perspective for being a songwriter. You simply need to treat it as a lifestyle, open your ears, listen and write, write, write! Ed’s ability to break down all the themes covered into simple, manageable chunks is second to none. There’s plenty of nuggets of wisdom sprinkled across both the site and books.

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.
