Course song published: 'My Hesitation'
 
"Thank You so much for a wonderful course.
I must admit when I signed up for the course I wasn't sure
what to expect but it exceeded all my expectations.
A big thumbs up to the material covered, but also to yourself
for the way you made it all so interesting and also showed great
faith and belief in myself and my songwriting. The course has
really re-kindled my love of writing and I thank you for this
too. I really respect what you have to say as I know it is
intended to get me to push myself to be the best I can at my
craft. Once again, a truly great course and I will sing your
praises loudly."

John Westwood - (Carrum
Downs - Vic)
Course/workshop song: 'Tainted Alibi'
Tainted Alibi features on Brian Baker's Album Hard Light, a must
get album. (Available on iTunes)
"Thanks Mario. I found the feedback interaction helpful and
interesting. One of my pieces took 7 versions before I
introduced it to scrutiny at a feedback session and it was
another 15 months and several more rewrites until it was
finally cut.
Applying what is learned at the feedback sessions makes
the writing process more rewarding and hard work pays
off in the end . Inspiration is only the first step.
Perspiration is what makes it work "
