About Magesongs
Magesongs School of Songwriting is more than a songwriting school. Founded in 2002 by award-winning songwriter Jacques M. Gentil, Magesongs equips aspiring and experienced songwriters with the practical skills needed to write songs that connect, inspire and endure.
​
For more than two decades, Magesongs has mentored hundreds of writers—from complete beginners to award-winning songwriters—helping them move beyond trial and error to create songs that stand out to audiences, artists, publishers and the music industry.
What We Teach​
Our approach combines timeless songwriting principles with the practical techniques used by successful professional songwriters. Whether you write for yourself or for other artists, you'll learn how to craft songs that are emotionally engaging, commercially aware and built to last.
​
At Magesongs, you’ll learn how to:
-
Generate original, compelling titles and concepts.
-
Write lyrics that connect emotionally and stand up to professional critique.
-
Master melody, structure, and form to industry standards.
-
Understand what A&R executives, publishers, and record labels look for.
-
Approach songwriting as both an art and a business.
We don’t just teach theory — we show you how professionals assess songs for marketability, and how to apply those same tools to your own work.
Why It Matters​
Many talented writers remain stuck because they rely on inspiration alone or never learn how great songs are actually crafted.
Professional songwriting isn't about following trends or chasing formulas. It's about understanding the tools that allow creativity to flourish. When you understand melody, lyric, structure and emotional impact, inspiration becomes something you can shape into songs that truly connect.
Our goal is simple: to give you the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to write songs that can be published, recorded, performed—and remembered.
