invitation to let your inner songwriter step into the sunlight. All it takes is a simple “yes” and you’ll be climbing that windy hill, marveling at the

I have been to dozens of workshops and have read dozens of books and have written hundreds of songs. I learned more in this course than in any of the workshops or books. This it top rated stuff!

This course helped me get over the hump of not being able to write songs. I want to thank Sir Pat for helping me organize my ideas and refine them so that I can tell good stories. Thank you sir!!

For two courses in a row I haven't got my certificate. Your peers give you less than something ridiculous like 80%, and you have to resubmit. Then, the clock is ticking... You have to get submissions in before your peers have marked their proscribed four reviews. This happened on my Web Design course too. I got half way through and selfish peers, not thinking what it means, gave me crappy grades, and I couldn't get high enough grades to get a pass in the rush to get reviewed. I always give ten grades to counter act tight arses, who have let grading go to their heads. You fancy yourself as someone who can give another person a 4, believe me, you're not half as smart as you think, and am actually an arsehole.

This is an awesome course and really improved my songwriting confidence and technique. The instructor is interesting, and the master class videos are very compelling.

Unfortunately, the peer grading part of it utterly ruins the experience. You have to wait for someone to "grade" the final assignment and then if you don't pass it you are basically stuck in the course, unable to complete it. Considering writing my next song about being stuck in Coursera purgatory.

this review is on the other course I had tried to take with coursera. I went through one module and then I wanted to go back for the next lesson I could not log into the course. I tried to reach out for help, No one answers the phone and there is no real customer services number. I signed up for a trial and I was charged before the trial was over. I still don't know how to login back to canceal nor see my coursera. This was and still is extremly disappointing
