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!!!

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.

inviting and practical guidance. I really like Ed's inviting style, personality and practical songwriting info which covers both the musical side and how you can wrangle yourself into actually showing up to do the work.

I'd never been able to write songs I'd never been able to write songs, every time it just came out wrong somehow. However, after going through Ed's book online and following the exercises I found at the end I'd written a song that was half decent. Now there's no stopping me, I'm writing most days. So all in all I've found the book very helpful to get me started. Cheers Ed.

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.
