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.

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.

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.

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!

Wonderful site to improve your songwriting! It´s wonderful to have sites like The song foundry. There is so much to learn here! I am taking tips I get from this site to my own songwriting class and all my students are learning a lot, some of them might have actually signed up already for this great platform. Well done and good luck with every project you undertake, I know it takes a lot of effort to build up something like this, and you are doing it great!
