I coach songwriters by phone from anywhere in the world!Just email me at
[email protected] and we'll set up a session. I do what I call "Instructive Co-writing". I help with suggestions both lyrically and musically. The ideas are yours to keep or toss. I do not take credit.Many of my clients have gone on to get songs published or have songs win songwriting contests.My fee is $50 an hour or $25 a half hour. You pay after the session by check only if you got anything out of our time together. No worries. I work by phone so you can have a session in your own home with me. If your in Nashville I do live sessions. If you have a songwriting association I can do half-day, one day or two day seminars with your group.My website is rickberesford.com. You can get more info there. Check out the songwriter's network on my site where you'll find info on demo studios, singers and places to go for songwriters in Nashville for the first time. I look forward to hearing from you.I've had songs cut be George Jones, Don Williams, Mickey Gilley, Brenda Lee, Everly Brothers and John Conlee. I've been critiquing and helping songwriters since 1985. I teach songwriting classes at Belmont University (MUC216.01), private student coaching (MBK1110.01) at Belmont. I also teach songwriting at the Nashville Songwriter's Association International and the Kerrville Folk
Festival.Some back story: My wife and I, Deanna, write songs for Zavitson Music Group. You should check out Deanna's myspace (shes number 1 on my top 16). Good wishes, Rick
