"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 exist in Australia. 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 to you if you are committed to learn. 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 now and then 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 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 for professional songwriter. This course suits singers, singer-songwriters, lyricists, composers, musicians, producers and song programmers, indeed anyone who is interested in learning how to create songs that generate an income from their songs.
Why don't you come to one of our classes for free and decide for yourself if this the right course for you?
