“This was one of the most thorough, well-presented and thought out master classes on pop writing I have ever experienced. It was also made user friendly by David Penn’s deep understanding of the music he was teaching.”
Asier Cazalis, Grammy nominated songwriter and artist
“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.”
- Carrie Cunnignham, Singer, songwriter, live sound engineer, auctioneer, CEO of Sound Barn Publishing
“The masterclass was so informative! Seeing what I usually hear in a visual form really solidifies things. I love the multiple visual explanations!”

“What I learn from these workshops and the Hit Songs Deconstructed website in one month would take me years to figure out on my own, and by then, it wouldn’t even apply to the current music scene. These are not just songwriting tips and tricks; these workshops are a masterclass in hit songwriting, as is the website. If you’re truly serious about being a professional in this business, Hit Songs Deconstructed will put you on that path.”
