I've been looking for a creative community to connect with and help me with my songwriting and music craft; and I finally found it! The virtual retreat was exactly what I needed as a writer and loved the co-writes. I'm already looking forward to the in-person retreat in Nashville coming up - I'm hooked!

If the retreat had ended on day one, I would have already left with so much value! You can see that Andrea's experience and knowledge is abundant. By listening to you, she knows what type of writer you are and how he can help you develop your skills. I was not sure of how to expect but I am greatly satisfied. I will certainly take the online retreat again!

Loved the songwriting toolbox offerings, the focus on community, the positive laid-back atmosphere and the confidence boost! Andrea is methodical, clear and leaves no stone unturned in her analysis of writing. Also appreciated some tips on the business side as well as the opportunity to connect with other writers. A wonderful experience!

Andrea is one of the most amazing teachers on the planet. Not only does she have a wealth of experience, the way she presents the material is extremely unique and elegant. You feel a deep sense of calm and the knowledge is presented in a very pragmatic way. The energy was so positive and encouraging from the beginning to the end. It really helped bring the best out of me and great teachers are able to do this. The retreat was very hands on as well, extremely organised and the best online course I've ever done. I hope I get a chance to go to the in person retreats. Huge thanks to Madison and Luke as well

I had a great time at this retreat. From my experience there, I was able to gain clarity on writing lyrics using sensory language. I also gained knowledge on many different things I can improve on musically (rhythm, chords, etc.). Finally they gave excellent advice on how to find your place in the large music industry. The retreat is highly recommended!

Andrea is an amazing teacher, I came away with so many ideas for becoming a better songwriter. The retreat also has a huge focus on collaboration and everyone attending was kind and understanding, allowing you to be yourself and vulnerable.

This was the first songwriter's retreat I'd been to so I can't compare to others but I can say it was a tremendous experience with an excellent and high qualified instructor. I'd recommend this to anyone who is serious about improving as a songwriter.

There isn’t enough hyperbole in the world to compliment Andrea on her style and knowledge. Her friendly, constructive, humble approach, never marketing or trying to tell people she’s good, she just is good. She draws the best out of everybody she works with, while inspiring everyone, and making people genuinely feel like they can do it themselves. It’s a very rare talent, coupled with her rare expertise.
