We are called Holistic Songwriting for a reason...

What makes us different is that we're not teaching our various disciplines separately - we show you how they interact and overlap, using our Holistic Songwriting Circle. For example:

✓ Lyrics-Melody: How to make sure your text sounds amazing.
✓ Melody-Bass: How changing one affects the other and how to take advantage of that.
✓ Drums-Bass: How to combine them into a Supergroove that rocks your arrangement.

Friedemann is the bestselling author of the Addiction Formula and the creative brain behind the viral YouTube Sensation "Holistic Songwriting" with over 400K subscribers and millions of views. He is also the creator of the massively popular Songwriting Decks on Kickstarter, a successful board game designer, card magician, entrepreneur, songwriter/producer, sudoku solver and cat lover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I'm an Holistic Songwriting Academy alumnus, is this for me?
A: Absolutely! This program was created from an entirely new perspective: Where HSA is about understanding music in depth, this is about taking action. Every single video is about getting you to write songs, focusing you in on the 20% of HSA you'll use every day.

Q: I'm a complete beginner / professional songwriter. Is this for me?
A: Yes. The focus here isn't on theory, it's on taking action, which is something everybody struggles with. But even if you don't, you will find techniques here (some new, some from HSA) which you can't find anywhere else.

Q: What's your refund policy?
A: I think you'll love the program and won't need a refund, but just in case you disapprove of my dad jokes, you will get a 100% refund no questions asked as long as you apply for it within 30 days of purchase.
