"Since I expanded my writing skills in Pat Pattison's course, I have regularly received phone calls from people around Britain saying that they need to have my music. The reactions to my songs have been amazing" -L Flowers

"The best way to learn about writing is to write. There is a little writing every day in these courses--5 days a week for 12 weeks. Never too much, but, by the end, you'll be amazed at how much your writing has improved. With a lot of help from the students who went through the courses, as well as from the marvelous team at Berkleemusic.com, the courses have been polished and refined into real gems. I'm thrilled with the results." -Pat Pattison, Online Instructor of Lyric Writing: Tools and Strategies, Lyric Writing: Writing from the Title, and Lyric Writing: Writing Lyrics to Music
