If you are new to songwriting or want to take your songwriting to the next level, you can learn more about the craft of songwriting with Vance Marino online on Zoom. Discover how to clearly communicate your song's message with crafted lyrics, melodies and chords. Find out how to break down your favorite songs and use that information to develop your own songwriting style.
Students bring songs in progress to private one-on-one lessons for feedback and advice on how knowing the basics of songwriting can make their songs more effective. The "rules" of songwriting are discussed, with the understanding that students can either follow them or break them. (Breaking them is a lot more fun.)
