Experience was beyond phenomenal Experience was beyond phenomenal. Anyone who is on the fence (as I was) JUST GO!!! Andrea knows her stuff and Madison was super organized. Musical and friend connections for life…

Madison, Madison, You are welcome to take anything from the letter I wrote Andrea on 4/12. Title as you will and I don't mind you using my name

The people made it great and the full… The people made it great and the full agenda kept us going and interested. A lot of information is packed into a well thought out agenda and the changes from last year are improvements in my opinion and last year was great too.

Art is Work. To Sell it is Art. I can't think of a better way to begin or give a boost to your creativity. Andrea is a great communicator. Even so, there's no magic wand that will make you write better songs, but you'll learn how to write songs better. And unless you're a genius like your mama told you, you need to understand the rules of writing songs that stand a chance of being shared.

Helpful on Many Levels I appreciated the practical tips Andrea provided to help me bust out of my writer's block and to help me revise/improve my songs. She gave me a lot of tools to think about and use. Andrea also built an exceptional community of songwriters with varying skills, strengths, and talents. The people were open-minded, collaborative, and super supportive. As a result, the songs created at the retreat were amazing.
