"I have just completed my 12th week of Berklee College of Music Lyric Writing Course with Andrea Stolpe(BerkleeMusic.com). It was a great experience to find out how much I don't know about writing lyrics!
All of the information provided by Berklee has been a big help.I recommend this course for students of all ages.I believe my writing will improve as I develop and use the ideas and concepts given in these classes...let's see what develops!"
