 Insights and Education April 24, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm a songwriter, and I was lucky enough to stumble onto a really helpful, educational book. Not only does it tell how to write a song in detail, it offers tremendous tips on how to sell it. I've been recommending this to all my friends. Best of all, it's written by a pro who succeeded himself, so I feel the information is tryly reliable!
 No Help Whatsoever April 11, 2003

This is nothing more than a bad autobiography of the author. A general "name-dropping, let me brag about my accomplishments and never tell you anything about how to accomplish the same things yourself" book. I could have gotten better advice on songwriting from my 9 year old!

I've been reading and studying a number of different books on songwriting. I got ideas from reading this book, but there isn't enough "meat" to get me real excited. It doesn't take long to read it. If you really want to learn the art and craft of writing music or lyrics, this is a poor book.
Even Idiots make mistakes... but they shouldn't. January 2, 2002

I found a glaring factual mistake in the book. I intend to contact the publisher directly to correct the wrong. If the authors let this mistake go out with the copyedited and fact-checked manuscript, how many other errors are within the pages? ...
Here are the musical keys to your songwriting success. November 7, 2001
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Do you have a secret desire to write songs? Do you have snippets of your songs tucked away in drawers? Do you have some finished lyrics in a neat notebook? Have you put some of your tunes down on tape? Have you actually sold some of your songs? If you answered "yes" to any or all of these questions, then this is the book for you. Joel Hirschhorn's songwriting mastery sings off every page. This is concentrated stuff! Just add your creativity and you are on your way to the top of the charts.
