“This was one of the most thorough, well-presented and thought out master classes on pop writing I have ever experienced. ”
“It’s amazing ! The depth of your analysis, the techniques you covered, the practical tools you provided us with, and the level of professionalism of each masterclass. I’m really honored and profoundly grateful for all I learned from you.”
“Even though I’ve been writing professionally for over ten years, I’ve found several nuggets of gold that have improved my writing already.”
“Very thorough, fun and insightful. Kind of a moneyball for songwriting, which is an interesting and original way of analyzing the creative process. As a pro I recommend this workshop to songwriters of any level.”
“My entire thought process as a producer, an engineer, a musician, and a songwriter are fleshed out in the pages of the HSD reports.”
“ASCAP aims to provide members with a multifaceted toolchest to augment their craft and their careers. Hit Songs Deconstructed is a cutting-edge service that can support our members’ creative process with in-depth data and analysis of current songwriting techniques.”
“I am honestly blown away by the amount of information you provide on each of these songs, practically like a thesis deserving of a degree. From a songwriting standpoint, so much of this information is so helpful, and the time-saving benefits are enormous.”
“As a songwriter, an important part of my job is to analyze what works in successful songs. By identifying the tools that were employed in hits, writers can incorporate them into their own songs–using techniques that have proven successful–while putting their own spin and unique creative angle on them. HSD does the research for me.”
“I am using HSD’s analysis techniques as a benchmark for my students to apply when analyzing songs, their compositional analytics to keep them in tune with what’s happening now, and the quarterly trend reports to keep them up to speed with who the key industry players are.”
