TESTIMONIALS

“

I can’t say enough about how much you can learn in these workshops. So far I have attended two sessions, one for Lyrics and Rhymes and the second for Arrangement & Production. The presenters were highly skilled and knowledgeable. The information was detailed and unlimited. There is something in there for anyone who writes or records to learn.


I highly recommend checking them out, it will make you rethink any work you have done in the past and going forward.

Some producers have a hit or two by sheer fluke/talent and the subconscious knowledge of a lifetime of growing up with music. However, making hits songs consistently is not just about talent and the occasional fluke. There is a science to the art of making hit music.


Hit Songs Deconstructed will equip you with tools that will allow you to make hit songs more consistently.

As a songwriter and educator, I am truly impressed with the scientific approach that HSD has employed in the forensic breakdown of the process of writing hit songs. Having attended many workshops, I have been equally impressed with David Penn's vast knowledge and understanding of this data.


Well done HSD for providing the songwriting community with invaluable information and analysis.

Having attended a HSD Masterclass for the first time, I am now convinced that by applying those lessons and research data to my songwriting, it will eliminate a lot of the "guessing game" and allow me to focus more on vibe and creativity with the boundaries set forth, which have proven to be highly successful.
