I've been working with Ed for a year… I've been working with Ed for a year and half. Meeting with him has made me progress so much farther and faster in my songwriting. I highly reccommed his one on one sessions if you are looking to up your skills. Ed will look at a song and be able to bring it to its full potential and so genius at it. I leave every meeting feeling so encouraged to move forward and work even harder. I would still be lost on this songwriting journey without his courses book and these one on one sessions. Ed is the best!!!

Inspiring feedback Ed's advice on our songs was so thoughtful, and really creative. His musical knowledge really shows, suggesting simple changes that brought parts of the song to life, that we'd never thought of in years of playing them. It was really fun to have Ed's notes to work from, and I know the songs will be so much better for it the next time we perform them. I'm really grateful for the wise and inspiring feedback that Ed gave us - I will be back for more!

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.

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.
