-- Steven R., NC

In the few short months I've been a member of SongU.com, I've gotten better feedback on my songs and better pitch opportunities than from any other site I belong to. I would highly recommend SongU.com to anyone who wants to improve their writing skills and develop relationships within the community. Cheers to you guys!
-- Claire U., TN

"I wanted to compliment SongU on something I've come to see as a real hallmark of everything you do: you always manage to line up instructors and coaches who so clearly love the work they do, and are so positive in the way they communicate with SongU members. Although your coaches are straightforward about realities of the business, I've never experienced anyone who comes across as negative or discouraged or bitter. So thanks!"
-- Marianne P., IL

I absolutely love SongU.com I've been with them for years and it just keeps getting better. Personal relationship, best teaching around, evaluation to take you to the next level and pitching opportunities. What else could you ask for.
-- Heidi M., GA

A friend of mine introduced me to SongU.com 3 years ago...quite frankly I don't know what I would have done without it. This site...Sara...Danny..has been a Godsend. Thank you so much for believing in us enough to start SongU.com. You're wonderful!
-- Tina T., TN

Needless to say, the Dow Jones Industrial Average might not be doing too well.... But as a songwriter, my stock in SongU.com has gone way up! Great coaching, superb feedback and a valuable education...the folks at SongU.com care about you and your goals!
-- Steven P., TX

When I started with SongU.com nearly three years ago, my knowledge of songwriting was almost nil. In that time through the courses and coaching I have reached the point where I am now proud of my craft and actively pitching song. Thank you, SongU.com
-- Tammi M., CO

"Thank you for the encouragement. And thanks for all you do for us aspiring writers. You have a great site. I don't know how I got along without it. "
-- Randall J., AL

Hi - just wanted to tell you how much I like the new website. So much easier to navigate and find what I'm looking for. I like the look, I like the way it works, and I'm usually the first one to dislike anything new online! My default has always been "just when I get used to using it, they change it (grumble)". Not this time. Well done! Claire
-- Claire U., TN

"I'd like to say thank you to Coach #168. This was my first evaluation from SongU.com and was one of the most useful evaluations I have ever had. The turnaround time was amazing. Thanks again for such an excellent service."
-- Mark E. , U.K.

SongU.com not only gave me the courage to dream high and big, it also showed me that an aspiring songwriter with high and big dreams could find this as a platform to springboard their career to new heights. Moreover, you can never get enough of the friendly and loving SongU.com family!
-- Ban B., AL

"It feels really good when I can gain insight as to what is most helpful, or needed in choosing to get feedback for my songwriting. I appreciate it, for all that it is worth. And I must say, that it is worth it's weight in gold. Whether I'm inching or making baby steps along this journey, it has all been a wonderful experience."
-- Shirley W. , MA

"I'm sure you get tired of all the compliments but have to tell you I am LOVING SongU. The Feedback sessions are a blast. All the instructors so different in their approach, yet always sincere in their effort to help - whether with a kick in the pants or a hug for a fragile ego. And I'm finding the Pitching option is a great motivator - kind of like having a deadline every month. The Tech course with Fett, Lyrics with Sara, Melody with Jai, a Private consultation here and there when I think I'm getting close, connections for pro demos ... I'm thousands of miles away and have never felt such support for my craft. "
-- Van P., Canada

SongU.com was the catalyst my career needed. My online coach(#1663) set up a meetings for me, resulting in an affiliation with Seasac.. Signed my first publishing deal... Currently write with some of the biggest hit-makers in Nashville...I almost quit the buisness... Now I'm moving to Nashville.. Thanks Coach 1663 and SongU.com
-- Brian C., MD

"Now that I've found SongU.com, I'm so excited I have the opportunity to learn from a great group of teachers that I'm afraid I'm gonna be here a lot! I've never had the opportunity to have somebody teaching me songwriting on a daily basis. SongU.com does that in the easiest and most convenient way. Thanks so much for putting all this together."
-- Juan A., IN

I find SongU.com a friendly resource for songwriting knowledge not easily found without living in or visiting frequently a music city.
-- Carol C., KS

"I know for sure I have found a supportive community at SongU.com. I really can't tell you how much it has helped."
-- Melanie J., KY

It's dark and quiet here in South Africa at a 3 in the morning. I log in to SongU.com and suddenly I'm in the USA, early evening classes, with a bunch of friends all running to classes, greeting each other, swapping stories, learning, growing, sharing. It's my home from home.
-- Richard F., South Africa

Really enjoy SU! No other music site compares in learning and making real progress in this industry! Sincerely, Chris Whitney-SESAC writer/artist SU member 6604

-- Robert P., TN

SongU.com offers incredible opportunities for songwriters at all levels, from education and coaching to pitching. Not only are SongU.com's courses helpful, the support staff has always been very responsive. The pitch opportunities are impressive. I can completely endorse SongU.com and the couple behind the name - Sara and Danny. They excel in every way. Donna Opfer, NSAI Workshop Coordinator
-- Donna O., MO

"I have never been to any website where so much is done for the members as SongU!"
-- Silje H., Norway

Since I joined SongU.com and have taken their courses, my songwriting has dramatically improved. If you want to learn the craft, this is the place! I've even signed a single song contract,had 2 songs signed with songpluggers and placed 3rd in the 2008 Billboard World Songwriting Contest!!!
-- Barbara W., MS

My coach is an unequivocal genius-I can't even believe I could get someone of his stature to evaluate my children's songs. I can hardly breathe. I'm so inspired by my feedback. I know I'm always saying this, but, "Thanks Again", SongU.com.
-- Kathy M., MI

"You never cease to amaze me! You are so thoughtful and patient to answer all my questions and give me guidance. I'm so thankful and glad to have become a part of SongU.com and to have met all the fine people here. I wouldn't be where I am in my songwriting career without you guys!"
-- Danny B., GA

"I did want to let you know what a valuable resource SongU.com is and how much I appreciate all the opportunities you have created here for aspiring songwriters. Thank you so very much."
-- Inglath C., VA

Living far from Nashville, I knew that a great online music education site would be important to my development as a writer. I researched and joined several music communities but was never satisfied till I found SongU.com For me, it's the best music education site out there.
-- Germain B., ON

I love Songu.com!!! It has helped me in so many areas to improve my writing skills. A bonus is the comradery with other writers on line and in person at the Meet & Greet SongU.com has in April. Many of SongU.com writers have stayed in my writers homes here at Hit Song Casa and have only good things to say about SongU.com. We all love it. Thanks Danny, Sara and Martin from one of your first members, Joyce Medlock, Owner of Hit Song Casa
-- Joyce M., TN

After 50 years of songwriting SongU.com has opened a path for me to the big stars in Nashville.
-- Paul H., AR

"Thank you again for getting me together with [my Coach]. I was lucky enough to be invited to his songwriter's retreat last week in the Texas... It was a real "write-up" situation for me, and with the help of what I've learned through SongU.com, I was able to hold my own with the big boys."
-- Ed W., TX

Thank you for your positive and helpful response. It's what I have come to expect from SongU.com and why I am still a member and have no plans to leave.
-- Alex H., United Kingdom

As a publisher I recieve a lot of songs in the mail. I have found the best advice is to "Join SongU.com" This is one of the best resources that I know of for aspiring singer/songwriters. Thanks for putting it all together. I love the courses and the feedback I receive from your coaches.
-- Lonnie G., WA

"I have found SongU.com to be the best thing ever to help me with my writing. You've really done a great thing here. Thanks!"
-- Sean H., KS

"Thanks... Just wanted you guys to know SongU has made a difference in my songwriting life!"
-- Barb W., TN

I just wanted to say thanks for providing such great opportunities to those of us outside of Nashville. You guys helped me improve my writing enough to get a Top 10 American Idol contest song a couple of years ago as a brand new writer. Now, you got a song of mine into Reba McEntire's hands! I submitted the song to my Coach for a critique and she loved it and asked me to email it to her because she wanted to pitch it to Reba. She gave it to Reba in a pitch meeting a week ago. This would have been utterly impossible without the opportunities provided by SongU. How could some Southern California busy lawyer possibly create the relationships necessary in Nashville to get a song to an artist like that? Only one way--SongU. I have referred several people to you and will continue to do so. Your services are truly invaluable to me. I have also signed several songs with one of your ongoing publisher pitch guests and we are on hold with an artist from Belgium, Tatyana Storm. I am thrilled. Thanks soooooooo much for what you offer. I cannot say enough about how perfect SongU is for a guy like me.
-- Perry S, CA

"I like the variety of courses and the fact that the members come from a variety of backgrounds and styles of music."
-- Kathryn M., Canada

I think Tina Turner has a song called "Simply the Best". I have researched songwriting and music sites extensively. I don't know how you could do it much better than SongU.com. It is creative excellence and it is maintained very professionally. When I started five years ago, I was as "raw" as they come. I simply had a few title ideas and my own personal enthusiasm. Today I have a few song cuts!! I may not go onto become a staff writer at a Major Label or a professional writer with several hits, but I have grown immensely. I believe I can do this now because of the SongU.com infrastructure. Like a good athletic coach, SongU.com puts their "team members" in the best possible position they can to succeed. It's all there for anyone to take it to the next level.
-- Dan R., PA

A great place to let your career get started!
-- Jason G., MD

I am really enjoying using SongU, it's fantastic! I am delighted that I've been given the opportunity to use the site through entering the UK Songwriting Contest. The modules are enlightening and very informative; I have learnt so much already and it is really helping me to develop my songwriting. It's also great to be able to work on the modules at my own pace and learn online. Thank you for such a brilliant website!
-- Anna S., United Kingdom

"New to SongU, this was my first live feedback course. I found it very easy to participate, the links were simple to follow. I'm member for only a few weeks, but I'll be here for life! Thank you."
-- Denise D., FL

"You guys have done a tremendous job with SongU. The e-classroom and writing room are brilliant. Keep up the good work!"
-- Dan T., PA

"I love the classes!!!!! One can learn a lot in just a little time. I also love the fact that everyone seems so close!! Instructors and students recognize each other in chats and on the discussion boards."
-- Jamie M., MO

SongU.com has been like having family in the music business. During my first year with SongU.com I've achieved 3 "Best of" songs, a publishing deal and a music placement.

"Once again, I can only repeat that I'm astonished at your persistence in doing everything possible to make me feel a valued member of SongU.com, and also a personal friend. I appreciate that very much indeed. Thank you!"
-- Graham A., U.K.

SongU.com has been a current, living sustainer for my songwriting career. It has given me the tools to keep going and growing in the places I normally might become stagnant.
-- Danielle R., CA

As a songwriter who lived in Nashville in the 1990's and reached pro status then moved away to persue other interests, I still felt I had something to say and in the 21century networking online and doing your business as much as possible is the most cost effective way to go. SongU.com does this for the novice weekend hobbyist all the way to the working pro. I have benefited enourmously from being a member and would highly recommend all writers and composers to join and then come to the once a year meet & greet in Nashville in April to visit in person with your fellow SongU.com peeps.
-- Anthony C., TN

SongU.com offers something that I have not found anywhere else - music industry feedback, opportunities and education that is not based around proximity. I think it's wonderful.
-- Angela P., MI

"Great site and great commitment to the art/vocation of songwriting. I have never been involved with a group that looks at every angle of songwriting so thoroughly. I'm very excited about connections and possiblities for my music thanks to you."
-- Scott S., NJ

"Every day I am so impressed and thankful for SongU.com. Dan R. and I are coming up with some cool collabs with other musicians.

Thanks a bunch!"
-- Michael S., PA

-- Michael R., NM

"Thank you for all you've done and continue doing for a wanna-be songwriter like myself. SongU has always been that beacon of hope, that faith that if everyone else can do it, so can I."
-- Macy M., United Kingdom

"As a writer from a small community these feedback sessions are literally the only feedback i can get on my songs. what a difference it has made for me. thanks"
-- Heather C., Alberta, CA

"I really like SongU’s fast responses and the quality answers - makes me feel that SongU really cares about their members."
-- Garry E. , IN

I am really enjoying the classes I've taken, as well as chat sessions with others. I've found that since I started with SongU.com (and it hasn't been all that long) that I've increased my creativity and production of writing.
-- Joyce S., PA

SongU.com is an outstanding virtual resource for the determined singer songwriter. I can't say enough as to how professional, flexible and user friendly the courses are and best of all, how much you learn and grow in the disciplines of songwriting.
-- Michael S., PA

"I really feel like I'm getting one-on-one attention, and I'm clearing up questions that I wouldn't really have answered if I was reading a textbook."
-- Brian P., NY

"When I first went online looking for songwriting courses and stumbled upon SongU in a Google search, I was apprehensive. But it has been so great - really exceeding my expectations. With three kids and many commitments, I would not be able to fit this into my life if it weren't online and if it weren't flexible. Thank you for this site and for what it has opened up in me again."
-- Kelly R., WI

"I recently got some tv airplay in a far away eastern European country. I still think it’s a fluke but it’s my first tiny bit of light at the end of a very long tunnel, but I would say that songu has a very positive effect on me. you guys are great."
-- Gavin P., GA

SongU.com is a wonderful opportunity for international songwriters to get in touch with the best instructors and courses in the music industry, as well as the red carpet to getting your songs heard by the industry professionals. You will really feel you are going somewhere as a member of SongU.com, no matter which level you start out from!
-- Magne K., Denmark

A word of thanks. I was having trouble accessing audited classes; endless "buffering". You suggested letting the class download while I did something else. I had it going during prayer time, and when I came back a couple hours later, the hour-long class played without a hitch. Thanks for the advice. Slow DSL & creaky computer overcome, thanks to your advice.
-- Sister K., ME

"I have progressed so far through SongU and the resolution buddies program, and I am thankful for all of SongU and the staff there."
-- Gary J., PA

"I just received an email last Monday and was told that a female artist out of Europe wants to record my song for a single. They are going to the studio in May and will be releasing the song in September. Thanks to SongU.com that I even have this opportunity...Thank you so much...this is awesome!"

-- Fiona B., New Zealand

"I am a member of [several other songwriter organizations], but none of them have done as much to help me develop my craft while I learn about the commercial side of songwriting as these long-distance friends I have at SongU.com and coaches scattered around the country!"
-- M.E., NY

"I signed a contract with one of my songs for use of my soundtrack in the 2008 Olympic Games with NBC sports. Also my song, "His Great Love" will be available in a CD/print music book this year from a California based company that does hymns for Churches and Gospel music. And it was made possible right here on SongU.com. Thanks so much!"
-- Tony C., TN

You can fight your way through the songwriter's school of hard knocks or you can attend the friendly SongU.com It was an easy choice for me.
-- Andrew W., OH

SongU.com has enabled me to take my lyric writing from a dream to a reality! The courses are easy to understand and to do.

-- Grace P., Australia

Thanks to SongU.com I just signed a single song publishing agreement with a major plugger/publisher in Nashville. SongU.com is a vehicle to get my songs heard by the music industry at an affordable cost. Thanks SongU.com!
-- Lance S., WA

Pre-SongU.com, I attended pitch nights in NYC and wondered what the secret was to having a song chosen by a publisher. Post-SongU.com, I've attended two recent pitch nights and have had 4 out of 6 publishers walk away with my songs in their pocket. When one publisher complemented the lyrics, I told him that was thanks to #168, 1666, 1667, 506, 2368, 2537, 2240, 2062 AND Helen. I think the guy thought I was giving him my secret lotto numbers. Little did he know, I was. Thanks to each of you for your investment in our dreams, and for introducing us to this amazing community of kindred spirits.
-- M.E. M., NY

"These coaches you have do great evaluations. I've had quite a few songs evaluated from [other places] in past years, and SU, well, simply blows them away. Thanks for selecting great people, I mean that!"
-- Ben C. , OH

Hi Sara and Danny - I am so excited - I have just had a professional demo made of my first song and have 5 more 'ready to be demo'd'. When I joined SongU nearly 2 years ago, I had absolutely no idea of song writing craft, even though I 'wrote' songs. Now, thanks to your education and evaluation service I am at a place in my songwriting where I never dreamed I could be. I know that I have a long way to go now to try to successfully pitch these songs (and write more) but I wanted you to know how grateful I am that you have been there (and will continue to be there) to guide and support me in my songwriting journey. I live in a remote part of Australia miles away from any physical songwriting community. SOngU is my community and you have made it possible for me to start realising my dream of being a professional songwriter. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! Lorraine
-- Lorraine C., Australia
