When I was 10 years old, The Beatles saved my life.  So begins my song, Beatle Love. After the sudden death of my father and three months later of my oldest sister, I poured my feelings into poetry and songs. Music and songwriting became my Healer. I feel so fortunate to have had this love of songwriting my whole life, and that now I get to teach - or rather - guide others to express their unique songs. What I love about teaching songwriting is that there's very little "teaching" involved, but rather a reminding. During our lessons, we'll cover basics - just to give the student guidelines. Structure and form are important so you don't get discouraged! Picasso had to learn to paint before he could create his unique style. I like to think I take a very holistic approach - body, mind and spirit. And, when all is said and done, I consider myself a coach really. Encouraging songwriters to ask; "What if…" and to not let resistance win, but to Write! How does a student Prudent Exuberant for learning Burning To keep the brain wheels turning Toward greatness N' Hate less The hard work that it takes us Mortals In search of portals That will make us and not break us Before the muse Lights the fuse We lose another groove That will spark us Start us Down the path our heart was Originally planned for Began toward The hands for …Only this Write man, write!!
