good information but..,
Where I don’t like the book, is she has references to her website so you can listen to certain songs as examples of what she’s explaining.. There was no such songs on her website. I felt like this letdown really took a lot away from the learning experience I’m supposed to have.
Regardless of the missing lesson helps on her webpage, I listened to some of the music that she has posted as her own and frankly it’s not “hit song” material by a long shot. Bad lyrics, boring singing, boring music. That really turned me off. If this gal is as great as she claims, then why is her personal compositions so below average?
While I did get a great deal of information about music writing, I was a bit disappointed in the interactive website and definitely turned off by the music she had posted there. It’s hard to take a person seriously on a subject, when they themselves are sounding a bit below par.
Her website is songmd.com. Head there and check out her songs, then check out her “awards” for her music she’s written. They are most definitely not HITS. Maybe if you’re 50 years old? I didn’t know any of the artists, so I decided to check out what exactly their hit songs were.. yeah, great for really really really old time jammers. None of her songs appear to be hits off the albums, only songs included in the album.
