Ever wanted to become a Songwriter?

Most people think that becoming a songwriter is a specialist talent and a really hard concept to grasp – but that couldn’t be further form the truth! Becoming a songwriter is much more simple than you may think as it doesn’t involve having to learn how to sing (talent required) and you don’t have to be brilliant on a musical instrument (talent required).

Becoming a Songwriter is completely a teachable skill!

My name is Dan Scott and I have been a songwriter for many years, travelling all over to meet some of the best in the music industry and from my experience I know that there are skills and tricks that you can learn to become a great songwriter in next to no time.

Obviously it takes practice and a good work ethic but if becoming a songwriter is a goal you want to achieve then I know you can do it! I’ve spent the past 10 years meeting top songwriter‘s, buying endless ‘become a songwriter’ books and have spent thousands on top songwriting courses. All to realise that you don’t really need all of that! Once you have learnt a few simple ‘rules’ and ‘techniques’ the rest just comes with time and practice. Writing great music is about self expression and emotion and everybody has the ability to show that!

If you are like me and have a number of kids currently going to school, than you are probably looking for help with what to do about foreign language.

The younger a child, the better the brain is at absorbing languages in a way grown-ups never can. If you have been interested in trying German, Spanish or French for your child, the right age and the right method to pick can be a bit of a head-scratcher. There are some products on the market that completely accept the immersion method. Other products on the market try to use the translation method, where children learn a new language through words in their own language, ones that they understand. Generally speaking, experts believe in the translation method for older children. The immersion method has time and again been proven to be the best way to learn French for very young children.
