Let's Face the Truth...
Learning songwriting is intimidating
You don't feel good enough
You might be a great singer but suck at playing guitar or vice vera and no one is listening to your music online
You're a perfectionist
You get stuck in the paralysis of perfection and end up with 100's of half finished songsÂ
You're on your own
You don't have a record deal, a team of co-writers, a band to accompany you, a singer to perform your song, or even a community to share ideas
How A Music Therapist's Psychiatric Hospital Intervention
Helps Anyone Write Hit Songs In Under An Hour
The Secret? Learning To Process Your Personal Life Through Music
What I discovered in psychiatric hospitals will change everything you think you know about songwriting...
AÂ Patient Threaten To Punch Me... Then She Broke Down Crying 20 Minutes Later
She didn't want to do my intervention. She screamed in my face. Said she'd rather fight than participate in "this stupid songwriting BS."
But something happened when she started processing her life through my method...
By the end of the session, she was sobbing. Not from pain—from relief. She had just released emotions that had been trapped in her body for years. She shared something she'd never told another soul.
And she wrote a song about it. In under an hour.
This wasn't an isolated incident. In 5 years as a music therapist in psychiatric hospitals, I watched this happen hundreds of times:
- Grown men crying as they processed trauma they'd buried for decades
- Teenagers opening up about experiences they'd never shared with anyone
- Patients who hated the idea asking to rewrite their songs after hearing others
- Complete non-musicians writing songs that would make seasoned artists weep
The breakthrough wasn't about music theory or talent. It was about processing.

Student Stories and Songs
I'm Courtney Schawl, And I Accidentally Discovered The Missing Link In Songwriting
I have a degree in Music Therapy and spent 5 years working in psychiatric hospitals where I created an intervention that changed everything.
Here's what I realized: The best songs don't come from perfect technique. They come from people who know how to process their personal life experiences and transform them into authentic expression.
While everyone else teaches scales and chord progressions, I teach the one thing that actually matters:
How to process your personal life and turn it into hit songs in under an hour.
This isn't theory. This is a proven intervention that's helped hundreds of people—musicians and non-musicians alike—breakthrough emotional blocks and create songs that connect.

A Warning: This Method Requires Emotional Honesty
This isn't a surface-level songwriting course. This is emotional processing through music.
If you're not ready to:
- Face your real experiences honestly
- Write without perfectionism
- Process emotions that might come up
- Be vulnerable in your expression
Then this course isn't for you.
But if you're ready to unlock what's been trapped inside you and turn it into songs that people WANT to listen to...
Why Right Now?
Every day you wait is another day your experiences stay locked inside you. Another day you believe you're "not musical enough" to express what matters most.
In psychiatric hospitals, I watched people transform in single sessions. They didn't wait for perfect conditions. They didn't wait to "get better" at instruments. They processed their life and created something beautiful.
You have the same capacity. You just need the right method.
