Reviews

[Carlos Ramos]

A very good book for song writing. With this book, I finally learned about the ABAB structure and managed to write a lyric of that fashion.
Short and sweet, and helpful.

[Sophie Bowns]

A really helpful book, I will definitely refer back to this!

[Molly Pederson]

This was actually a very helpful book and I have the beginnings of 2 songs written now!
