Kind Words from Community Members
I find it hard to say how much my songwriting has improved since I joined…I feel like I’m able to get my songs about 80% of the way there, and the feedback from Keppie and Benny help to steer that last vital 20%, that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own.
I feel so incredibly lucky and overwhelmed, in such an amazing way, by the live feedback session today, and the Chorus Workshop I’ve attended so far. You are so inspiring, Keppie! Thank you for all the feedback I got on the song I brought in, and also for the tips, resources, and of course a big thank you for listening!

Every songwriter hits a wall sometimes. This was mine.
In this short video, I share a moment in my own songwriting journey when I really needed a community – and didn’t have one. So I built the kind I wish I’d had.
More Words from Community Members
The workshop has provided structure and language for my songwriting process. Coming at it Title/Chorus first is very different and beneficial for me. And crafting the song tone and melodies as you go along is a very productive approach that captures the mood and intent brilliantly.
Keppie and Ben are great, patient, teachers and have a knack for finding the best in everyone’s songs and gently guiding them into improvements….Highly recommend!
