What a life changing experience What a life changing experience! I went into the retreat with some hesitation; was I good enough to keep up? Could I co-write with high level musicians and song writers? Andrea just has a way about her that facilitates learning, community, and positivity. After the experience I learned that I can more than keep up; I can hold my own. In 4 days I felt like all 31 participants were new found family members, and there were more than a few tears shed on the last day. Thanks Andrea and Madison for all that you do to support artists hone their craft.

Amazing 10/10 Amazing 10/10 Andrea is incredibly knowledgeable about her craft and I was impressed at how thorough and concrete her process and tips were to help construct songs. She was extremely empathetic and attentive with everyone who asked a question and I could tell she had a genuine interest in helping everyone there. If you’re looking to level up your songwriting I’d recommend checking this out.

An overwhelming success This week was an overwhelming success - emotionally, socially, and in the development of new skills. From the choice of venue, to the meals, to the approachability of team, to the amount of information that was imparted, everything met or exceeded my expectations.

AWESOME SONGWRITING RETREAT!!! This was my very first songwriting retreat so I didn't quite know what to expect but all expectations were greatly exceeded. Many questions that I had, and many that I didn't realize that I needed the answer to, were answered by Andrea or her guest speakers in such a simple, easy to understand way. I got my writing inspiration back, which was one of my goals with this retreat, and I know what direction I now want to take my music. The only other things that I could have wished for was a personal critique of my songs (which is offered in the VIP package but was sold out when I found out about the retreat) and more time. More time to keep absorbing Andreas wisdom and more time to cowrite with my fellow students. All in all, it was worth every penny! Thank you Andrea, please keep doing these retreats for those of us who love songwriting but need a little help to understand the music industry and our own gifts!

I enjoyed the sense of connection and… I enjoyed the sense of connection and community. I would have like more teaching from Andrea.
