Here's some common sense tips that I endorse that should help you along your path to becoming a competent and confident composer, songwriter, or producer. I don't do advice videos often but there's a lot of things I wanted to get across here that my average video doesn't have room for. Hopefully you find it helpful!

A special thank you to my lovely Patreon supporters. They are why this channel exists, still! Join them here if you like we do live Q+As once a month and also the occasional special lesson or live composing stream.
