I started using the one on one … I started using the one on one coaching sessions on The Song Foundry in March 2021. I found the sessions honest helpful and full of constructive critique on drafts of lyrics I had written. Ed gave me the confidence to trust in my writing abilities. We worked together using the step by step process of song structure, to write lyrics from a song idea I had. I highly recommend The Song Foundry to all budding song writers.

The Art of Songwriting The Art of Songwriting by Ed is the best book about creativity that I have ever read. Balancing theory, thinking and feeling in equal measure, really helps you to find your own way to approach songwriting, and to identify as a songwriter.

Great information for beginners First came across The Song Foundry about three years ago, as I was trying to learn the basics about song writing. I have read a couple of the books and used the free online content and found it simple to follow and fun, and I have written several songs based around Ed's advice. Great for beginners, after that you are on your own!

Excellent songwriting advice! I have engaged a lot with Ed Bell of The Song Foundry over the past few years. I have always found his advice to be professional, informed and very helpful indeed. His book The Art of Songwriting was insightful and motivational. Also, I used his song critique service twice for feedback on early versions of my songs. Once again, the advice on improving these compositions was very useful. I highly recommend The Song Foundry and Ed Bell for the courses, books and other services.

A superb enterprise I have followed the Song Foundry for a number of years on “you tube”….I found the Art of Songwriting an excellent book for students of composition and refreshing for teachers who wish to update their teaching plans.
