- You’ve written songs you love, but you want richer harmonic colors, smoother progressions, and more control over your sound.
- You’ve been making music without fully understanding harmony, and it’s holding you back from translating your ideas into great music.

Who Am I & Why I Created This Course
I’m a pianist, composer and educator, and I help songwriters, composers, and producers unlock their creative freedom through a deeper understanding of harmony, melody, and rhythm. I also teach improvisation and composition.
I’ve spent two decades composing, performing, recording, and collaborating internationally—from creating music for stage, records, and film to producing and performing on albums for songwriters. My 17 years of teaching experience, working with musicians one-on-one and in groups, has allowed me to refine an approach that truly works.
This course is the result of everything I’ve learned—from years of composing, performing, recording, collaborating, and refining the craft of music creation.
Whether you’re a beginner looking for structure or an experienced musician craving new creative tools, this system will give you:
A clear and practical method to internalize harmony, melody, and rhythm in a way that sparks creativity.
A shortcut to the knowledge that took me decades to refine, packed into a structured, engaging learning experience.
A hands-on approach that immediately applies to your music—because this isn’t just theory, it’s about making real music.
Why This Course?
So many musicians have sought my guidance on these exact topics—because they couldn’t find a clear, no-BS, hands-on approach that actually helped them improve their music fast.
I designed this course based on what I wish I had when I first started composing seriously. A structured, engaging course that doesn’t get you lost in overwhelming, disconnected information.
Here’s what makes this course different:
It’s designed for immediate results—so you’re creating and applying what you learn from day one. It’s built for songwriters, not academics—I cut out the fluff and focus on what actually matters for making music. It’s structured, engaging, and practical—because I know firsthand how frustrating it is to lack a clear learning path.
Your Learning Options
I created The Songwriter’s Bible: Master Harmony, Melody & Rhythm as a comprehensive 10-lesson course, but I also understand that musicians are at different stages. That’s why I offer:

FAQ
ask me anything
How long will it take me to complete the course?
It’s mostly up to you.
Technically, you can watch the entire course in one day.
Practically, in order to implement the material, I recommend you to pause after each new topic and work with it, so you really get it in your system.
My recommendation is to take between 4-10 weeks, depending on how much time you invest in your music practice daily.
What skill level is this for?
You can take the course as a professional musician as well as a beginning composer. The Syllabus covers the topics from a basic level to advanced.
As an advanced or experienced musician/composer/songwriter, you might find that you know some of the topics covered in the first few lessons of the course. I still recommend that you go over them, you might find a new perspective that will open your mind.
Is it relevant for all instruments or only piano?
The course is relevant for all instruments and also if you don’t play any and work solely on a DAW.
There is a bonus mini-lesson: introduction to the keyboard, for those who aren’t familiar with the structure of the keyboard, since I demonstrate on the piano throughout the course.
What genre of music is the course relevant for?
This course is particularly designed for songwriters (or singer-songwriters).
That said, it will greatly serve anyone in the domain of contemporary, rock, pop, indie, and film music. If you create within these genres this course is perfect for you.
The course is also useful for producers and electronic music creators. If you are one, keep in mind that the course is going to cover more that is typically covered for your genre.
I chose to focus the curriculum on material that is useful for this type of music writing, with a particular accent on hands-on learning that you can immediately use. Therefore, I left out theoretical jargon that’s typically used in classical music theory studies. And so –
If you are a classical music composer, please schedule a free call with me before purchasing, so I can understand what it is that you, specifically, are missing, and advise you accordingly.
What if I don’t have time to practice what I learn?
If you have time to make music every day then you have time to incorporate the course in your daily routine – it is designed that way.
You don’t need to practice, you need to implement.
As musicians, we are always busy. Therefore, learning how to be productive with learning and improving our craft is essential. There will never be a better time than now.
what if i have questions during the learning process?
We provide two great support options at this time:
- You can (and I encourage you to!) post your questions to the private FB community. I will personally answer you there, and you’ll have the fantastic opportunity of conversing with your peers.
- You can always write me an email ([email protected]) and I’ll answer you within 48 hours.
From time to time, we will open a premium option for live q&a and workshops with me. We’ll send updates about these via email and in the group.
Can't I Learn all this for FREE on YouTube?
Not really.
Youtube is awesome, I love to use it myself for expanding my horizons or finding out about topics that I’m curious about.
However, in order to successfully and efficiently learn a subject from A-Z, you need a plan that takes you there.
You need to make sure that this plan is designed to take you through all the steps until you reach your goal.
You also need support, a place to ask questions, a mentor to guide you.
Youtube can’t give you that.
How Long Do I Have Access To The Course?
You get a lifetime access.
You also receive a 15% discount on all future courses – unlimited.
How is it different from other courses?
First and foremost,
every course has a different teacher. If you like my approach and feel that I can lead you on your journey, that makes much of the difference.
Second,
I designed this course to provide you specifically with what I couldn’t find in any other course:
- An A-Z, hands-on guidance that thoughtfully covers the tools that you – specifically – need, in a short amount of time and a precise manner.
Once you take this course, you won’t need any other course to cover these materials. - I created this course while wearing two hats:
the instructor’s hat, and the composer-performer’s hat.
For this reason, this course covers the technical and theoretical stuff, practically and creatively, while guiding you on how to use it in your own compositions.
Other courses teach you music theory in a theoretical way.
Therefore, in this course you get the full picture, the entire package.
Once you learn it, you will be creatively free with this material forever.
What If I'm Unsatisfied With This Course?
If you’re unsatisfied you can write an email to [email protected] and get a refund within 48 hours, no questions asked.
How long will the special price be available for?
The current price is available for the launching period.
We’ll have special offers from time to time, but cannot promise how long they will be available for.
What payment options are available?
You can pay with a credit card, Paypal, or a bank transfer.
can i pay in installments?
Yes. We offer payment plans that you can choose from on the payment page.
