Become a Stronger Songwriter
If you have been writing songs for awhile, but you feel like you hit a plateau, you might be focusing more on the songs too much. Focusing on songs too much? Yes. You may be worried about specific songs more than your skills as a writer. Songwriting is a craft, it is a skill that can be developed and practiced. This personalized 3-month mentorship is focused on taking you from where you are now, to where you want to go with your writing. It all starts with craft and process. This mentorship will push you beyond your current skills and help you grow as writer.
How You’ll Transform Your Songwriting
Transformation happens in steps. It happens with dedicated, and purposeful practice and attention. You already know how to write songs, but you want to write GREAT songs. How do the great writers do it? They focus. They know their strengths, they know the tools, and they know that it takes showing up over and over to make it happen. In this 3-month personalized, focused mentorship, you will inventory where you are, and what skills you want/need to work on. Chad Shank, Songwriter, and former Berklee Instructor will guide you and give you structured lessons, and assignments each week. These assignments will focus on developing not only your songs, but more importantly your songwriting skills. Great songs come AFTER you develop yourself as a writer. This mentorship will get you out of your normal habits that have you stuck, and push past your comfort zone to where you want to be.

Who This is For:
This is not for someone looking for song feedback. Feedback is only one part of the picture. This mentorship is for writers that are looking to develop their skills. They want to learn more about craft, dedication, and processes that work. It is for people who are not afraid of using tools they are not comfortable with. They realize that the "easy" level of writing rarely has an impact on the quality of the writer. If you are looking for song feedback, there are song check-ups on this site. You’ll thrive here if you want structure, accountability, and clear guidance from someone who understands what it’s like to write with limited time. If you’re willing to show up, stay consistent, and invest in your growth, you’ll have support every step of the way. I keep this mentorship small so I can stay close to your work, which means only five songwriters are accepted at a time. Everyone applies first so I can make sure it’s a good fit and that you’ll get the most out of the experience.
