5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the busy aspiring songwriter, January 28, 2002

By	Eric Moromisato (Glendale, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Being in the music industry for the past several years working with an indie record label, Lansdowne, Winston, Bloor, Hoffman House Music Publishers, SGA and writing for Music Connection Magazine and SunsetStripRadio.Com, I've met a lot of eager songwriters/artists trying to break into the industry and this book would be absolutely perfect them. Like most struggling artists, it's hard to find time to sit down and read, let alone work all those odd jobs (or that one job that's less than ideal), write songs, rehearse, do the club networking-thing, and live a life worth living. You can listen to this book and let it sink in slowly, passively, painlessly, etc. NO READING REQUIRED..haha...Aaron talks about various resources to help you get started on your pitching spree, specifics about copyright, collaboration, etc...Do your songwriting dreams a favor and get this book/tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had had this 20 years ago...or 20 days ago., July 25, 2001

By	Phillip D. Swann (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been a songwriter for 20 years - the last 9 of which professionally, meaning I've been lucky enough to have gotten paid for it. I also teach songwriting for UCLA Extention, The Songwriters Guild of America and many other songwriting organizations throughout the US and Canada. I will be recomending Mr. Mezza's "You've Written a Song..." to all my students as well as my professional colleagues. This information is vital to the beginning songwriter and timeless to the veteren. If you put words and music together...GET THIS TAPE. Phil Swann, staff songwriter for Dreamworks SKG.

Excellent resource for learning about the ins and outs of getting your songs copyrighted and published. Simple, well-thought-out and professionally done. A must-have cassette for your car.
