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.

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.

Helpful but still confused on things Well it's kindda helpful since now I think my songs are getting better but I wasn't able to understand composing yet... Still I'm thankful

Great site and some really helpful… Great site and some really helpful articles and information on song writing.
