This Business Called Songwriting. (20 Sessions)

"There is no school for songwriters except the school of hard knocks and that school is filled with lies, myths, half-truths, and misinformation. I hear it everyday. Some of these myths have been around for over 50 years. Talented, you may well be. Educated about your chosen career--doubtful."
-Dude McLean. (Producer and music publisher with credits on so many artists including Oak Ridge Boys, Ray Charles, Barry Manilow, Dr.Hook, Cher, Andrew Lloyd Weber, Air Supply, Duke Ellington, Abba, Emmy Lou Harris, Buddy Holly, Lionel Ritchie, Dirty Dancing, Evita, Stephanie Mills, Johnny Mathis, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Whitney Houston...)

That is why Magesongs School of Songwriting (Australia) exist. Dude believes as we do too, that there are outstanding talents out(here) that unfortunately do not understand the business side of being a songwriter. Songwriting can be more than just a hobby. It will mean a lot more and will make more 'cents' when your performing right society (APRA in Australia) sends you a cheque in the mail every often for your song being played on the radio or having been used by another performer whom you or your music publisher have given permission to.

We make a difference in the Australian music world by offering a valuable course (and giving song critiques) for people wanting to learn not only the techniques commonly used by successful songwriters but also everything you needs to know about the music business as a songwriter. This course suits singers, singer-songwriters, lyricists, composers, musicians, producers and songs programmers, indeed anyone who is interested in learning how to create songs that generate income.

Previous Students Testimonials:

"I have found this course to be an enjoyable experience which has not only provided me with the skills to now write complete songs of a competitive standard but also to understand the music industry itself. If you are thinking of writing songs, I recommend this course to you."

John Salter, (Endeavour Hills) Currently has a song on hold for Robbie Williams.

"This course has been fantastic for me, as a performer and songwriter I have learnt so much about not only succesful song structures but also the business side of the music industry. Highly recommend to all."

Karen Guymer (Bentleigh East). Winner of 3 awards in 3 different categories (Folk, Indie Rock & Spiritual) at the 28th National Songwriting Awards by the Australian Songwriters Association (ASA) in 2008 including a 2nd position winner.

"I enjoyed every moment of your course and I'm sad it's over. It was extremely professional. Your dedication and passion was an inspiration in itself. Now I feel excited and confident stepping into the songwriting business"
