Hi guys,

I'm a musician, classically trained but played jazz most of my performing life. Changed mid-life to a performance psychologist and I've been working in the UK for 27 years with performers of many kinds. During this time I've written 5 books and run an MA degree in performance health. These days I work in a big rock academy with young musicians, particularly singers, and we talk a lot about songwriting and creative writing in general, along with all the other stuff like motivation, confidence, peak performance, perfectionism, performance anxiety etc. 

I used to write songs when i had my own band, and I'm renewing my interest in songwriting. Hence signing up here. I use Garageband right now, but hope to migrate to Logic when I get more adept.

I'm totally into songwriting, in all ways, as we all are here. And if I can help with anything I'd be pleased to do so.

Andy

Hi Andy  :)

Welcome along! Sounds like you'll be a great asset to the forum...there's a great bunch of people here...and loads of great help and advice which has helped me loads. And some great songs too!

By the way, is your username from Liszt's (?) "Les preludes" the old theme from "Flash Gordon" ?

I sat through a few performances of that when I was a kid  :)

Hope you enjoy your stay.
