Wrote a song "by the book" Wrote a song by following the process laid out clearly and concisely in Ed's latest book "How to write a song (even if you've never written one before and you think you suck)" and it turned out wonderfully well. Ed has a talent to explain things in an engaging and fun way. You can feel his passion for teaching throughout his work, which is a great ressource to help you reach your full potential as a songwriter.

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.

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.

A superb enterprise I have followed the Song Foundry for a number of years on “you tube”….I found the Art of Songwriting an excellent book for students of composition and refreshing for teachers who wish to update their teaching plans.

Super helpful! Super helpful feedback with a lot of great ideas and things to consider. Very honest and constructive and with a good ear for certain things I didn't hear before in my own songs. Thanks!
