At-Home Songwriting

This membership is for independent songwriters who are passionate about creating music and driven to improve their craft. If you’ve been searching for ways to write better songs and connect more deeply with your listeners, you’re in the right place.

If lyrics are your main focus, you’re in the right place! While we touch on melody and chords, much of our content dives deep into the craft of lyric writing. Songs come to life through lyrics, melodies, and chords, and we explore all three—but with a strong emphasis on creating impactful, authentic lyrics. You'll gain practical tools and insights to strengthen your lyric-writing skills and bring your ideas to life. Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your technique, this is a place to develop your voice as a lyricist.

Each course is designed to approach each chapter from 3 angles. 1. The Concept 2. Real-world Demonstration 3. Writing Exercises. You will have an opportunity to complete the exercises for the course, and you can use them to finish full songs.

Once you’re registered, you’ll gain access to our full Online Community—a supportive space where you can connect with fellow songwriters, share your work, and receive valuable feedback. Here, you’ll find encouragement, peer-to-peer reviews, and a chance to learn from each other’s unique styles. The instructor also checks in on submissions, offering feedback to help you grow whenever possible. It’s an incredible opportunity to refine your skills, gain new insights, and be part of a community that’s as passionate about songwriting as you are. Join us and let’s bring your music to life together!

No, these courses focus on what truly matters: writing great songs. If you dream of making a living with your music, it all starts with crafting songs that connect and resonate. Here, it’s about becoming a better songwriter, not just learning how to network or promote. Because if your songs don’t stand out, no amount of marketing will. There are countless places to learn promotion, but here, we’re all about the art and craft of songwriting. Let’s dive in and make the music that gets noticed. Let’s write!

Yes! Writer's Block is usually caused by anxiety and fear caused by not knowing what to do next. Our inner critic gets a little too bold, and we get stuck. These courses will give you tools that you can use to write when the dreaded Block sets in.

The Pro Writer Group Membership is just $40 per month. For that, you’ll get a weekly meeting with a supportive group of songwriters, all focused on helping each other grow and stay on track. Led by me, Chad Shank, this group is designed to give you the accountability, connection, and guidance you need to keep improving and writing your best songs—all from home. Writing like a pro takes practice and focus, and this membership is here to help you do just that. Join us each week, build your skills, and watch your songwriting reach new levels!
