The purpose of a song critique is to point the writer in
the direction of writing better songs. A songwriter can benefit from a
critique whether the writer is new, or an experienced, advanced writer.
Professional actors and athletes hire coaches. A coach
has eyes that see what an athlete is doing and can correct it and make that
person a better athlete. The
smallest corrections in a golf swing or baseball pitch can make a big
difference. In the world of songwriting, with so many people competing to
their songs heard, the songwriter must have the best songs possible to put
forth. No one wants to put out a CD that documents his or her mistakes. Smart
songwriters, write great songs first, then go into the studio. Actors who want to hone their acting skills might study
with Milton Katselas. A gymnast who wants to go pro might study with Bela
Karoly. Working with Harriet Schock will make that difference that will take
your songs to the next level. A critique by Harriet can uncover problems such as
unsupported titles, illogical or unclear lyrics, changes in tense, broken
rhyme schemes, uncompelling melodies, arbitrary chord changes or lack of
prosody. All of these issues can be remedied by taking Harriet’s course. The Harriet Schock Songwriting Course addresses you as an
individual. Not stressing any particular style of music or lyric, the
course takes you from where you are now with your songwriting ability to a
place of greater competence and creativity. As a professional you will fine
tune your skills and address some of the problems you have encountered.
As a novice you'll build your confidence and develop good songwriting habits
from the start. If you are between these extremes the course will help
you develop your style and become remarkable at writing songs. Harriet is not only a phenomenal teacher, but her 30-year
career as a professional songwriter with a body of successful work includes
gold and platinum records, and many other music industry awards. She has many
songs used in film and TV and her songs have been recorded by people such as
Nancy Wilson, Lee Greenwood, Roberta Flack, Smokey Robinson, Carl Anderson,
Helen Reddy, the Little Mermaid and Johnny Mathis. Her latest accomplishments include:
