"Max Martin Hits Deconstructed was amazing. I spent my Saturday learning about and listening to one of the best producers (in my opinion) music and dissecting what makes it so great.

Delved in much deeper into melodic math than I anticipated. The breakdowns of Max Martin’s songs were very detailed and helped to highlight what makes his songs tick and why his songs stick in your mind. The course material was presented excellently and the presenter was always happy to answer any questions. Overall, excellent.

It was so informative and well laid out. It covered every aspect of how Martins numerous hits are put together. As a longtime songwriter, I learned some new things and some valuable tips and tricks. I highly recommend any of the Hits Deconstructed.

"I got so much out of this Masterclass Session. A really beneficial session especially considering the reasonable time & $ investment. I have been studying and practicing the craft of contemporary songwriting and production for many years, and despite this, I have stumbled with having concise concepts and terms to use to explain a range of melodic and hook devices that I 'hear' in other's songs. Therefore the HSD insight and approach is really liberating. I am now really looking forward to applying my new insight into my analysis and writing sessions moving forward from today. "

"I am thankful to have attended this masterclass. I learned a lot of valuable information that will help me moving forward. I know that I am going to put it to use."

"Having read and watched a lot on the topic, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the content was incredibly valuable. It was systematically demonstrated with clear, concrete examples, one after another, with engaging audience interactions. I’d recommend the masterclass because it’s a deep, guided listening session, and David’s passion for the topic makes it all the more enjoyable!"

"HSD is the one of the biggest contributors to my improvement as both a producer and songwriter. Invaluable stuff."
