Incredibly helpful, I feel I have learned so much in a short time from Wayne, not just on songwriting but also how to create the right atmosphere in a co-writing session. I would relish the opportunity to work with him again at any point in the future!

Waynes one-on-one Hit Song School tutoring clearly demonstrated some of the differences between a hit song and just a good song. Im looking forward to learning more from him

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 songwriting 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, Im just really, really honored and grateful. When I write a song now, its like everything that he's taught me is in my head, and it comes out more naturally as Im writing it, whereas before, I wasnt really aware of all of that.

Before studying with Wayne I had song ideas but didnt know how to organize them. Wayne has given me the ability to build my own songwriting toolkit, and the confidence to write clearly structured, emotional pop songs in any genre. Now I understand the difference between a hit song, and just a good song..I highly recommend this! Thanks Wayne!
