I attended the A.S songwriting camp in the UK in September 2024. I must say the writing camp has exceeded my expectations. It was a well organised 5 days retreat with lots of song writing activities and workshops. The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble. To top it off,It was a great experience to meet so many other like minded
people at the retreat. Highly recommended.

The retreat in the UK was amazing. Looking back on the journey each one of us had from the first evening in the round to the last one. I went in with being unsure if this is something for me and did things I've never done before, which made me grow musically and personally. I would recommend doing it and doing it again.

Everything was so wonderful: from the genuine welcome of the team members of Myles and Madison, to the authenticity of Andrea with her teaching and mentorship…so much honesty, connection and useful tools for songwriting. The participants connected with each other and worked and played hard - it was an experience of a lifetime. The team members truly cared about each and every one of us and our experience. Thank you so much - highly recommend

I heard about Andrea and her retreat from a friend of mine, and after checking out the website I decided to sign up. No regrets, it is as awesome as it sounds! The team is amazing, always helpful and very casual. All the people who participated were special for one reason or another, and the bond we made will remain forever. The location is the cherry on the top, very inspiring. Hope to be able to join again in the future!

Well organized, beautiful location and a safe and kind environment to learn about songwriting.

The atmosphere was honest and supportive. The retreat was well organised and the time well spent and used. I am very grateful for the opportunity to join the retreat.

Amazing experience at this retreat. Well organized with workshops in the morning and co writing in the afternoon. I left feeling like i was part of community that lives on even after the retreat. One of the best experiences was watching each participant grow through out the week and gain confidence in their performances. Anyone thinking of applying for this should take the leap. I would go again in a heartbeat

Fantastic course with fresh daily exercises to help your progress your music. Think 1% better every day.

The support of your peers going through the exercises every day is also essential and you’ll find it’s a bonding experience for people to take interest in your music and lyrics in the Kajabi portal.

Lastly, Andrea’s key strength that sets her apart is authenticity. She helps people to be the best version of themselves, whatever that sounds like for them.

Great atmosphere, lovely environment to cowrite and build community!

I am a single mother, full time teacher, song writing lover of music. That is in a very particular order - those are my priorities. Sometimes, if I can get time and space after the first two, I get to “indulge” in the third, which is the nourishment of my soul. And then came 30 Day Songwriter… This course gave me a daily shot in the arm and got me moving in my music and lyric writing. It woke me up and showed me I could work in some very creative ways in order to maintain momentum - think using your phone to reconstruct motifs on a train platform on your commute. With manageable daily exercises that I was able to complete on a time budget I was able to finish the course on time and the challenge led to improved technical skills in order to achieve it.

I’m not pretending I could maintain the pace I worked at, but I am able to go back through the materials again and again in order to have creative accountability. I also made a great network of songwriting peers all over the world through the Facebook group and daily feedback threads on the e-learning platform.

The course is well structured and has the right level of administration - enough to keep you accountable without feeling like you have overlords and, as such, has just the right level of flexibility. There is online content, that is presented multimodally, and a couple of live sessions throughout the month.

Above all Andrea and her team are competent, cheerful, thoughtful and, of course, Andrea is a leading expert in her field, so being able to have access to her wisdom and experience in a way that is both financially and temporally manageable is incredible. And you get the course for life so she’s always there to come back to.

Andrea Stolpe's 30 Minute Songwriter program is incredibly excellent on so many levels. Well thought out, incremental, concise and self paced. It covers many key aspects of songwriting without the music theory distraction. Good for beginners and on-going experienced songwriters. Best program I've done in a long time.

I had a great time practicing clear and precise tools to help me build a composing routine.

No frills, no showing of but down to earth useful information, tips and tools.

I found this course to be truly motivational. It was great to work along at specified tasks with a group of other songwriters. The comments and encouragement with the other group members was invaluable. Even though I've been writing songs for a long time I discovered some new tools to help break free of writer's block as well as the reasoning for other tools I've been using for years without knowing it. The course also gave me some insight into some fresh approaches for starting a song. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

Andrea Stolpe is extraordinary!
I took her 30-day Songwriting Course, and it is Amazing! In just 30 days I was unblocked and writing songs. Andrea is both knowledgeable and friendly - and, more importantly, a person I would refer anyone to. Take her classes! You will love them!

This 30 day course was fantastic - each day focussed on a specific aspect of songwriting craft, covering lyrics and music. The lessons were well presented and practical whilst the assignments really helped to stimulate creativity. Towards the end of the second week I could feel myself setting into a nice rhythm and feeling more confident in my approach. I have a number of song starts now I can’t wait to finish and plenty of great tools to help me do so. I can’t recommend this enough to anyone wanting to give their songwriting a boost.

I was very happy with the course. It helped me see the strengths that I have and gave me tools to work on the weaker points. It was great to connect with songwriters all over the world. Some lessons were better from me. I think everybody will find something. Just be patient and you will find something

I think every songwriter should take this course. It's very well-balanced, organizes valuable information, and Andrea’s personality is incredible. Her calmness, precision, and generosity make all these tools seem easy to apply, and she renews enthusiasm day by day. I’m very grateful to have gone through this experience and to have her as a mentor.

Andrea is a true professional and a wonderful teacher. I've been writing songs for many years and what I learned has helped me significantly.

I've taken many writing workshops in my life and this has been one of the best if not the best. I've had many breakthrough moments during the 30-Minute Songwriter Challenge and am coming away with a basket full of concrete concepts that I'll continue to work on after the workshop ends.
