30-Day Songwriter: Nov. 2025 Class

If you have a box full of old, unfinished songs or beginning to write new ones, eventually inspiration will run out. TIME to LEVEL up and learn the craft of songwriting by one of the top songwriters in the business, Andrea Stolpe. No such thing as "not ready yet" or "not the right time". The right time is now. She's got a bag full of songwriting tools and doesn't hesitate to simply share them; no long-winded lectures, no "shrouded" in secret language. The lecture videos/audios are all 1080p with closed caption and "search video" and every lecture has a PDF. The CC with "search video" option is how I was able to go to class during work by turning down the volume and typing out every word from the "search video" option and I would read my notes throughout the day.

For me, one of the biggest reasons why this course is very effective has to do with the posting of daily assignments along with the other classmates posting theirs, and so it gave one a chance to read, listen and sometimes interact with each other. The best part was one felt safe because it was, at best, very encouraging, especially if a classmate(s), who have amazing skills, left an encouraging comment on one's post. At worst, there was no comment left and after awhile, having no comments, it started to feel "non-judgmental" and safe to post one's assignment. I'm a novice lyricist and "off key" singer and I felt no judging and safe when I posted my lyrics and links to the current song I was working on.

If I could change one thing on my part, is that I would've liked to have done at least 3 months of Descriptive/Destination/Objective/Sensory writing before diving in the 30-Day Songwriter. But back in early November 2025, the time was "NOW" and I just went for it, and I am very happy that I did.

My biggest takeaway, was Andrea giving you these songwriting tools/muscles and emphasizing to turn off your inner critic (the one that wants you to fail/quit) and trust your intuition/instincts. Your instincts are the "directions" and the tools are the "boat" to get you to the finish line.
