    I really enjoyed the hitsongschool.com Saturday Song Intensive Workshop class session. I am also thankful for the essential songwriting skills I learned in that short amount of time.

    Working with Wayne was a phenomenal experience. Wayne helped me to reconnect with what I really want to write, he helped me to see which aspects of song writing I should prioritize in order to avoid ending up in a creative dead end, and he helped me to realize how essential rewriting is to the process of creating breakthrough songs. As someone who has been writing songs for years, I have never been more excited or prepared to write music than I am now.

    Wayne has taught me how to focus the idea, develop it, using a lot of song craft like ‘urgency', ‘rhyme', ‘rhythm', and the improvement is just great, I’m just really, really honored and grateful. When I write a song now, it’s like everything that he's taught me is in my head, and it comes out more naturally as I’m writing it, whereas before, I wasn’t really aware of all of that.
