With a Grateful Heart
I'm very thankful for all of the support and encouragement I've
gotten in pursuing my dream of songwriting.
Pat Pattison, Professor at Berklee College of Music
If it weren't for Pat Pattison's Coursera Songwriting course, I wouldn't have the tools to know how to put my ideas into lyrics. I highly recommend taking this free MOOC (massive open online course) if you're interested in songwriting. https://www.coursera.org/course/songwriting He's also got a great website and has written some helpful books and articles on the craft. http://patpattison.com/news/
Pamela Phillips-Oland
Judge, Lyric Writing Category, Great American Song Contest (GASC)
Her GASC bio reads: “One of the music industry's most successful lyricists, Pamela's songs have been recorded by many top recording artists, including Whitney Houston, Reba McEntire, Brian Adams and Selena - and featured on the HBO series "The Sopranos." She's also author of the excellent book You Can Write Great Lyrics.” She gave me some very helpful feedback on the songs I entered—so exciting! Her songwriting success is mind-blowing. http://www.pamoland.com/
The Great American Song Contest
What a fabulous opportunity to grow as a songwriter and connect with other talented people doing the same. I am especially grateful to Event Coordinator Carla Starrett who graciously answered my many questions. http://www.greatamericansong.com/index.php
My Students at Ozarks Technical Community College
If it hadn’t been for them, I don’t know if I would have actually followed through on taking up songwriting and entering the contest. They kept on me and were my best cheerleaders; in the process, I was able to show them how using the tools we learn about in class can truly help them achieve their goals.

Fellow Coursera Songwriting Students
One of the best things about the class was the lively discussion and community we built by helping one another to get better at songwriting.

Thanks for giving me the love and time to pursue my dream.
