The Mystery of Songwriting
He is a really nice and talented teacher! I learned a lot from this class! -
Intentional Songwriting
I really enjoyed the hitsongschool.com Saturday Song Intensive Workshop class session. I am also thankful for the essential songwriting skills I learned in that short amount of time. -
One-On-One Song Tutoring (Private)
Working with Wayne was a phenomenal experience. Wayne helped me to reconnect with what I really want to write, he helped me to see which aspects of song writing I should prioritize in order to avoid ending up in a creative dead end, and he helped me to realize how essential rewriting is to the process of creating breakthrough songs. As someone who has been writing songs for years, I have never been more excited or prepared to write music than I am now. -
One-On-One Song Tutoring (Private)
Wayne has taught me how to focus the idea, develop it, using a lot of song craft like ‘urgency', ‘rhyme', ‘rhythm', and the improvement is just great, I’m just really, really honored and grateful. When I write a song now, it’s like everything that he's taught me is in my head, and it comes out more naturally as I’m writing it, whereas before, I wasn’t really aware of all of that.

Songwriting Intensive
The class was great. I just wish there was more time to write and practice (it was pretty much only theoretical, with the exception of 2 exercises). The instructor was knowledgeable and warm, and overall I had a great time in this course, and found it very useful for my songwriting practice. -
Songwriting Intensive
Alex Forbes is an excellent instructor. She had everyone involved and made the class quite enjoyable. I would highly recommend this class to the aspiring songwriter. Thumbs up all the way! -
