Aside from the ubiquitous school recorder lessons and guitar group, I started out with a £100 second hand guitar and a great deal of enthusiasm to emulate my favourite bands and songwriters. I did not have a great grasp of how music or songs worked and eventually got stuck in a bit of a rut. However, my drive and desire to be able to write great songs compelled me to invest my time and money in study, experiments and practice until I went from writing songs that were just OK, to songs I felt really proud of. Which boosted my confidence to share them with the world. I went from not being able to tell if I had written a good song or not, to knowing that if someone didn't like it it was down to their taste not my music.
Although I have dedicated a great deal of time to learning and honing my craft something I have learned is... You don't need to be possessed of an innate ability, be an expert in music theory, be a virtuoso musician, be some kind of poetic wordsmith, and you don't need to hold any formal qualifications in music to be able to write great songs! Once you understand the basics of songwriting you'll have the confidence to turn any idea into an awesome song. And you'll be able to dip into your tool bag of songwriting knowledge to find the right tool when things are challenging, meaning you'll never get stuck. While creating and sharing my own music will always be part of my life I felt like keeping all this knowledge to myself was not fulfilling a higher purpose. Music is essentially limitless and there is room for everyone. That's what inspired my to create Tom's Audio School and to help aspiring music makers to write and produce professional sounding music.
I realise you may not care the ins and outs of why I created Tom's Audio School, and what you really want to know is CAN I ACTUALLY HELP YOU? Having been on many courses and programme I have seen music and songwriting taught in many different ways. Some good, some bad. I've taken these observations and created this step-by-step system to be efficient and easy to follow with a focus on results and development. I have confidence this will work for anyone who has a passion to write great songs. I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this journey. I'll also be in the private community answering questions, hope to see you in there!
