Paul McCartney & John Lennon, Elton John & Bernie Taupin, and Carole King & Gerry Goffin are arguably some of the world’s most famous co-writing partnerships. They wrote hit song after hit song together. But would they have been hit songwriters without their counterparts?

What is it about co-writing that elevates songs and songwriters? Co-writing instantly doubles your toolkit. It gives you access to the other person’s strengths, creative ideas, energy and networks. It helps you grow as a writer and pushes you to create songs you might never have come up with by yourself.

Without a doubt if you want to be in writing rooms with other artists for their album projects, co-writing is an essential skill to develop. In short, co-writing will help you reach your full potential as a songwriter.

To supercharge your songs, learn from others, and create lifelong collaborative partnerships, join our next online co-writing course. Through this course, you will learn essential tools to build co-writing skills, confidence and networks. The course includes training sessions, facilitated co-writing sessions, song-sharing sessions, homework activities in addition to plenty of time to ask questions.

For planning purposes, we only run 1 co-writing course per year.
