Lyric-Writing lessons by Stephen Cole.

“This workshop has truly been such a priceless experience. Stephen was an incredible teacher and I’ve learned so much within such a short amount of time. It has opened my eyes to the craft, and I plan to continue to develop the skills I gained here whole-heartedly.”

—Elyse Douglas, Composer
Loma Linda, CA

“This course was life-changing for me. I am not a lyricist but I have learned to think in a new way. I learned to use simple language to find rhyme and meter. Stephen is such a supportive teacher who guided us and helped us all grow. He also is a wonderful historian of musical theater. His survey of musical theatre was extraordinary. I learned about the shows and the context and the person behind the story.”

—Ruth Gould-Goodman
Energy Healer/Acupuncturist
Author of “The Sacred Book of U“
Venice, CA

“I learned the craft of lyric writing by a master!! Specifics, history, theme. Personalized teaching. No better class in the country!”

—Bren Petrakos, Prose Publisher
Santa Monica, CA

“Stephen is an amazing instructor with a wealth of knowledge to share. He recognizes each student’s strengths and weaknesses and crafts individual assignments designed to improve everyone’s work. He gives amazing feedback on both what works with a lyric and what doesn’t. Aside from the wonderful lyrics we analyze from the 20 and 21st centuries, he recommends additional lyrics for students to study based on what they need to improve. It was a fabulous workshop, and I left with several well-developed lyrics of my own.”

—Chris Boltz
Lancaster, CA

“A FABULOUS SESSION! I’m SO HAPPY to be working with you. There are not enough words.  Thank you 10,000x over, truly.. My inner writer is coming out. My dream, btw, is to record a 2nd album of MY MUSIC, and to get back to performing live concerts.”

—Mitzi Schwarz
Los Angeles, CA
