Will there be replay videos?

Erm…no! It would be really easy for us to record and share replay videos…but that’s not what this course its about.

The Kickstart challenge is LIVE, it’s in the moment and we’ve made it especially for those of you who want to take action with your songwriting NOW!

Think of it like this. If your car had a flat battery, would you ask someone to jump-start it, let them attach the cables to the battery, then wait a week before you even tried to turn the key?

Of course not. You’d turn the key straight away!

These LIVE sessions have been made to re-charge your songwriting with totally inspirational advice, the very best songwriting tools, professional help and live assignments to bring you into the here and now with your songwriting and show you that there’s no time like the present to finally do this.

All you have to do is show up and turn the key!

 

What do I need for this course?

We’re all giving you our time for just £5.00. All I ask in return is that you bring an open mind, an open heart, a big notebook and pen, and when you have a monster hit on your hands, maybe give a shout out to The Songwriting Academy.

I want you to know how it feels to achieve the success you only dreamt of before. And I intend to show you that you can do absolutely do it, no matter what your age or ability right now.

 

See you on the 555 challenge!
