About
I'm a Grammy-nominated hit songwiter/recording artist, and I've been teaching my confidential step-by-step method for over 30 years since I started teaching at USC in 1986. It strengthens every muscle of songwriting and gives the student a way of getting the best possible song on the subject he/she wants to write about. After going through these steps, a songwriter will have a way of writing a seamless song every time, musically and lyrically (or just one if that is the goal).
I enjoy seeing a songwriter discover a method of writing songs that gives him or her the exact song he or she wanted to write... A song that has emotional impact on the listener both musically and lyrically.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I listen to what he or she has written and give feedback. If the songwriter has signed up to do my step-by-step method, I give the student the first lesson. These steps are confidential and truly remarkable. Only my students and former students know them. That's why they're some of the best songwriters out there.
