Songwriting & Music Production Workshops

Would you like to transform your songwriting? Do you want your demos to sound like finished songs?

Songwriting
Arrangement
Production

These are the essential parts of writing music which sounds finished and professional. Generally if your songs aren’t sounding right it’s because one of these three elements are out of balance.

Having a fundamental understanding of how these parts lock together to make professional sounding songs is the key to transforming your songwriting and demoing.

Hi, I’m Luke, and I want to help you tranform your songwriting and demos.

I am a songwriter but I’ve also worked extensively as a music producer (in both the traditional and modern sense).

After years of writing, working with other artists and recording countless songs I’d like to help you:

Write better songs from the get go.
Diagnose why parts of a song aren’t working.
Understand the importance of arrangement in making professional demos and final tracks.
Understanding how to manage the “energy” of a track through songwriting, arrangement and music production so it captures listeners attentions keeping them engaged and wanting more.

This course is not about songwriting-hacks and shortcuts, its about the fundamentals of songwriting, arrangement and production. You are given the tools to understand how to write in almost any genre and be able to produce a professional sounding song and demo.
