Hit Songwriting Program

Songwriting Course – Write Better. Go Further.

In today’s music industry, talent alone won’t cut it. To thrive as a songwriter, you need to understand what makes a track commercially viable—from structure and lyric craft to emotional resonance and market appeal.

In Barcelona the Hit Songwriting Course runs as a small in-person class at our studio, taught in English by producers active in the city's electronic music scene, with the option to attend live online, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse. Students join us from across Spain and the rest of Europe.

This course is built for those ready to move beyond hobbyist writing and start creating songs that can compete in the real world—whether you're aiming for chart placements, sync licensing, or cuts with other artists.

Taught in a small-class setting by a working professional songwriter with credits and collaborations across the industry, you'll gain:

  • →Real-world strategies for pitching, co-writing, and getting placements
  • →Detailed critique sessions to refine your current songs for the market
  • →Collaborative writing opportunities that mimic real industry sessions
  • →Proven commercial songwriting frameworks used by top writers

Bring your own material, refine your sound, and learn how to position your songs for the right opportunities. You’ll leave this course not just a better writer, but a smarter, more strategic one—with the tools to pursue commercial success.

Sessions available in-person or LIVE online. Let’s turn your ideas into songs that get heard. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
