The ALL ACCESS Pass is the ultimate way to access all of our best lessons and opportunities – it gives you unlimited access to all of our courses plus a whole host of exclusive live events and other perks, for a low monthly subscription.

It’s a great way to try out all of the courses we offer without picking a specific one, and a great way to level up your songwriting if you’re really serious about getting ahead.

ALL ACCESS is for any songwriter who wants to level up their songwriting and become part of a supportive writing community – whether they write just for fun or want to make a living as a musician.

It’s also for songwriters who write or want to write in any genre. We don’t cater specifically to one kind of writer because a) once you’ve learnt the fundamentals of songwriting, they apply to every genre, b) the best type of songwriter is a versatile songwriter who can work in a few genres, and c) there’s a lot songwriters can learn from writers who specialize in other genres.

Most of our courses and resources focus on songwriting – writing chords, lyrics, melodies and grooves – instead of production. But unless you’re purely production-focused, there’ll be plenty of value inside for you too.

Our community is made up of writers at lots of different levels of experience – some are new to songwriting and some have been writing for years and come to make new connections and keep their skills sharp.

If you’re a complete beginner, ALL ACCESS probably won’t be a great fit for you just yet. We recommend you get started with one or more of our beginner-friendly courses – especially How to Write a Song – then think about joining ALL ACCESS once you’ve got at least four or five songs under your belt.

It might sound obvious, but you get what you pay for. That’s it. That’s the answer.

There is plenty of great free songwriting content online – including here on The Song Foundry site. But there’s only so much free content can do for you. That’s just how it works – songwriting educators need to live and eat too, so it’s hard for any of them to give you their best work unless they’re getting paid for it.

We might not be able to offer our ALL ACCESS content for free, but it’s hard to emphasize enough how insanely affordable access to it is. A single year’s tuition (not including living expenses) at Berklee College of Music costs around $36,000, and even a lot of online courses cost $100+ for three hours of video lessons, so what we offer gives you much better value for money.

We know, Spotify and YouTube have made everyone think everything should be available for free online. But we think we’ve found a better, fairer and much more sustainable model: you chip in a few dollars each month, and we’ll bring you the best educational content and opportunities we can, with no distracting ads, zero sponsored content and nobody trying to sell you more and more once you’re inside.

One of the reasons we built our ALL ACCESS community was to provide a top-quality songwriting educational environment that’s affordable enough that everyone in it can stick around.

When you subscribe, there’s no minimum or maximum commitment – you can stay as long (or short) as the community and resources we offer are useful to you.

That said, the kind of real-life growth you’ll get out of joining ALL ACCESS won’t come overnight, but it will be the kind of growth that lasts a lifetime. So while we hope you’ll start seeing improvements to your songwriting right away, it may take 3–6 months before your skills really start to fly. But the investment will be worth it ten times over, we promise.

Yes – absolutely.

We price everything in US dollars because it’s usually considered the main global currency, but if you choose the ‘Checkout using PayPal’ option at checkout, you can pay in pretty much any currency you like.

PayPal takes care of the currency conversion automatically, which means there are no bank or card fees for you. Please be aware, though, that if you sign up for a subscription the actual amount you’re charged each billing cycle will change slightly depending on the current exchange rate.
