The retreat was a wonderful experience. The location and the people were truly lovely and I got to co-write with some talented people. Andrea and her team were great!

Andreas knowledge on songwriting is pure gold. Every teaching, suggestion and advice is an inspiration for better songs. And the freedom to explore and stay true to yourself completes the picture. I loved every second of the songwriters retreat.

A sharpened skill set and learned how to participate meaningful in songwriting with collaborators is what I came home with after a week songwriting retreat in the UK. A time well spend with fellow singer songwriters along with insight and knowledge of Andrea Stolpe helped us all to improve our songwriting with hands-on examples and exercises.

It was amazing to be with so many talented songwriters and performers, yet feel so comfortable and almost unabashed. Moreover, Andreas insights were unmissable. The team were brilliant and the experience was exceptional. I am inspired and new doors have opened for my own abilities. Thank you.

After taking some time to reflect on my experience at Andrea’s songwriting retreat, I am filled with nothing but positive feelings and a wealth of inspiration. The week was very well organized, and I appreciated the structured schedule. Andrea breaks everything down into such manageable tasks and made things feel easy. The co-writing sessions were a highlight for me. They not only taught me a lot about myself but also underscored the importance of collaboration in songwriting. Having written alone for so long, this was a real eye-opener. It was also great to get to showcase our songs every evening. The wonderful people I met throughout the week made the experience truly unforgettable. I feel like I’ve gained a “musical family” to stay connected with and hopefully collaborate with in the future. I’m so glad I signed up for this retreat. It was absolutely worth it, and I’d definitely do it again. Thank you to all the team for a fantastic experience!

An incredible experience. Andrea’s technical instruction is second to none, the teaching sessions and class exercises were invaluable in workshopping viable songs from the sketchiest of ideas. Andrea and her team create a safe, honest, transparent environment for everyone to be themselves which helped us bond quickly as a class and support each other. We were constantly pushed and challenged but Andrea’s feedback was always judicious and supportive - no punches were pulled but the blows landed as epiphanies / lightbulb moments to savour. I’d hoped the afternoon songwriting collaborations and evening performances would be fun but I didn’t expect them to be a source of such joy. I can’t recommend this retreat highly enough.

I attended the A.S songwriting camp in the UK in September 2024. I must say the writing camp has exceeded my expectations. It was a well organised 5 days retreat with lots of song writing activities and workshops. The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble. To top it off,It was a great experience to meet so many other like minded people at the retreat. Highly recommended.

The retreat in the UK was amazing. Looking back on the journey each one of us had from the first evening in the round to the last one. I went in with being unsure if this is something for me and did things I've never done before, which made me grow musically and personally. I would recommend doing it and doing it again.
