“I say to my students that I can't teach them how to write a good song, but I can teach you how to write a better song. Talking about this idea of it being a process. By going back and not settling for something and find a way to step back from your songs-which is a very hard thing to do-but when you're stuck or you can't move forward, start doing some polishing.” WayWritingI CanIdeasHardMovingSongProcessTalkingStepsTeachStudentsStuckMoving ForwardSettlingThings To DoSongwritingHard ThingsNot Settling Author:Andy Wilkinson
“Kids who are least impressive in my class are the ones who only listen to one kind of music. They only listen to country or only to rap or to gospel or anything. It's a sad thing. I try really hard to get them to go out and listen to things. It's amazing what you learn. ... I'm still trying to learn. It's not like I'm going to be a calypso singer. That's not going to happen, but I'm sure there's something in that, that I can learn from and apply to my own work.” WritingTryingKindStillsI CanCountryHardHappensKidsMy OwnClassRapSingersSongwritingImpressiveSad ThingsCalypso Author:Andy Wilkinson
