About the Course
SONGSMITHING COURSE REVIEWS:
"Are you looking to take your song writing to the next level? Then the Song Smithing Class conducted by Christene Jackman is for you! The Song Smithing Class is appropriately named. I completed the class in late 2022, learning a great deal about song structure and framework, creative techniques centered on the listener’s attention, thought processes focused on worship and Biblical songwriting, the skillful wordsmithing of lyric writing and much more. This class goes well beyond just learning how to create music. The class is a pathway to setting your talents free to explore all the aspects of your creativity and focusing on what’s important to get your song and message heard. Recommending this class to all song writers who feel a need to progress and sharpen their abilities to create."

I am assured whomsoever takes this course will also surely benefit in similar ways their own songwriting creative process.”

"This course turned out to be more than what I expected. The modules for each class session contained historical info about songwriting and clear instructions on how to build a good foundation for successful songwriting. The instructor's experience in radio and songwriting proved to be very helpful when explaining what makes a song something others want to hear. The course teaches fundamental skills for anyone to begin songwriting."

Jackman first picked up a guitar at 15 and wrote her first song. It was pretty bad. Through the years, she gained knowledge by listening to great songwriters, attending songwriter workshops, and took guitar lessons. Her songs are enjoyed around the world thanks to the internet.
