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.

Everything was so wonderful: from the genuine welcome of the team members of Myles and Madison, to the authenticity of Andrea with her teaching and mentorship…so much honesty, connection and useful tools for songwriting. The participants connected with each other and worked and played hard - it was an experience of a lifetime. The team members truly cared about each and every one of us and our experience. Thank you so much - highly recommend

I heard about Andrea and her retreat from a friend of mine, and after checking out the website I decided to sign up. No regrets, it is as awesome as it sounds! The team is amazing, always helpful and very casual. All the people who participated were special for one reason or another, and the bond we made will remain forever. The location is the cherry on the top, very inspiring. Hope to be able to join again in the future!

Well organized, beautiful location and a safe and kind environment to learn about songwriting.

The atmosphere was honest and supportive. The retreat was well organised and the time well spent and used. I am very grateful for the opportunity to join the retreat.

Amazing experience at this retreat. Well organized with workshops in the morning and co writing in the afternoon. I left feeling like i was part of community that lives on even after the retreat. One of the best experiences was watching each participant grow through out the week and gain confidence in their performances. Anyone thinking of applying for this should take the leap. I would go again in a heartbeat
