But, it is the clearest explanation that I've ever found on the Nashville Number system. I'm so happy. Thanks!" --  Sean H., KS

About Our Community

"I wanted to thank Danny for his note about the NashCamp Scholarships in his campus news several weeks ago. I actually acted upon it-and I found out this week that I am going!  I am thrilled, and really looking forward to it. Thanks again for the very helpful information. If you had not included that, I never would have "challenged myself" to write to NashCamp. Many many many thanks!!!" -- Janella L., PA

"Thanks for the email. It's nice you have time to do that. I'll say again that you provide a very personal touch as you teach the rest of us about songwriting. It is very much appreciated. Thanks again." -- Bill E., IL

"Thank you for creating such a warm and friendly environment to learn and write in . I have found great friends and made so many new contacts here." -- Niav S., SongU Member Australia

"And thanks for creating, building, maintaining, developing, and growing an INCREDIBLE community. It takes real dedicated, giving teachers and artists to do something like this." -- MB, NYC

"Amazing how much SongU is a part of my songwriting mind set and routine. You have brought together so much talent among people readily willing to share their time and experience. I think I speak for the masses when i say thank you!" -- Angelo M., NC

"I've only been a member a short while, but I'm still constantly amazed by your never-ending ability to inspire, encourage and help each and every Songu member.  It's like one big happy family.  A 'family of friends'...THANK YOU."  -- Sue B., United Kingdom

"Thank you for making me feel welcome and providing a personal touch to my membership." -- John C., Canada

"SongU has given me a wealth of practical tools for improving my songwriting. I've used tips from the lessons to improve my existing songs, and to jumpstart new songs. But my favorite thing about SongU is the sense of community. I've been able to meet (and learn from) pop, country, folk, rock and Christian writers from around the world--some beginners, some veterans. I've had the chance to co-write with writers from Australia, Hawaii, New Jersey and Ohio. I have a wonderful goal-setting partner in Canada (also a performing songwriter) who helps to keep me on track. The instructors are easily accessible, and quick to answer questions or offer feedback on coursework. Huge thanks to all the folks at SongU for giving songwriters such a valuable tool!" -- Shelley M., IL

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

"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, and also a personal friend. I appreciated that very much indeed. Thank you!" -- Graham A., United Kingdom

About The Cost 

"I've spent thousands of dollars on songwriting workshops in Nashville, Toronto, Boston. SongU.com is one of the most extensive educational songwriting resources I've found...and the best part is I get to stay home and save my airfare costs." – Shelley J., Canada

"The yearbook page alone is worth the tuition." -- Sue F., TN

"The detail, thought and hard work you guys have put into this is more then I imagined! When you consider other 3-day workshops cost as much and often more then a full year at SongU.com, it's a bargain!" -- Jim C., PA

"At $295 for a full year of unlimited courses, your offer seems almost too good to be true. I'd have to say that it's the best deal you can get if you want to write songs." -- Brian P., NY

"It's the best investment you'll ever make for your songwriting development. SongU rocks!!!" -- Juan A., IN

"SongU.com is a great way to learn about songwriting, make connections etc. and you don't have to leave your home! It is cheap in price but not in quality." -- Jamie M., MO

"Where else can you work at your own pace, at what you want, and be exposed to such a diverse and talented group of folks. The cost is quite reasonable and the potential great. The thought behind this venture is just plain cool." -- Angelo M., NC 

"Professional courses at a bargain and as much support as I need." -- Amos N., TN

About Our Personal Attention

"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

"The personal feedback is one of the very best things about this site." -- Judith M., CA

"Wow, I'm so glad this school is so personal. I feel like we are family!" -- Jamie M., MO

"At SongU.com, the level of expertise (songs, communiqués, courses) is more than impressive, yet I feel like I am communicating with friends. The work I’ve done has been eagerly received with encouragement." --Angelo M., NC 

"I like the personalized attention that the site gives. The idea of setting goals with people who can see them and sort of be held accountable." -- Damon H., IL

"I must say that I am impressed with the personal attention and friendly way you folks have welcomed me...SongU.com so nicely facilitates communication between everyone, it almost seems like we are attending a regular school, where you physically go to classes...Congratulations on a fine job!" -- Mark C., AZ

"I have to admit that at first it looked to me like SongU was too good to be true. I mean all I needed to know to become a better writer for only $295 a year! There had to be a catch somewhere! After I signed up I realized there was no catch and that SongU was actually better than it seems at first sight. Why is it so good? Well, it could be the great courses they have, the great faculty, the cheap but incredibly useful song evaluation service or even the great design of their web page, but the truth is that Danny and Sara are the reasons why SongU is something else. They took the time to get to know me, answer every single question I had, encourage me when I took a step forward with my career and even challenged me when I needed it. And their courses have helped me grow as a writer beyond my wildest dreams. Sara's courses Successful Lyric Writing I and II and Danny's Composer's Bag Of Tricks have done more for my songwriting than anything else I've done since I started writing.  If I ever win a Grammy or a CMA Award, be sure that the first thing I'll say in my speech, after thanking my wife for her support, will be "thanks Sara and Danny for putting me on the road that took me here." -- Juan A., IN

"This has to be one of the easiest, most-intuitive websites I've ever used." -- Jack M., MO

"The site is awesome, what a brainchild... intuitive, functional, enjoyable!  Working daily in a complex technological environment, the first thing that struck me about SongU is the streamlined approach to merging ease of use and functionality. The flow of the site is great and even via dial-up, the user experience is comfortable." -- Angelo M., NC

About Our Faculty

"Now that I've found SongU, 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 does that in the easiest and most convenient way.  Thanks so much for putting all this together." -- Juan A., IN

"Where else can you work at your own pace, at what you want, and be exposed to such a diverse and talented group of folks? The cost is quite reasonable and the potential great. The thought behind this venture is just plain cool.  I like the diversity of the staff, the real world examples. And Danny & Sara, you guys are a joy to know, and I look forward to learning much." -- Angelo M., NC

"Between the talented staff and students I keep being amazed at the wonder of it all.  Quality education with quality people.  It just doesn't get any better than that." -- Jerry J., FL 

"I wanted you to know that I learned more in those 2 hours than I did in the last two years…I can not wait to expand my knowledge to its fullest." -- Paul C., IL

"Danny and Sara are well respected in the industry. I feel comfortable participating in any musical seminar/workshop that they put on because I know it will have educational substance and value for the dollar. They face the issues and downfalls songwriters are challenged with because that's what they do." -- Shelley J., SongU Member Canada
