Songwriter Testimonials
I attended Chad’s “Songwriter retreat” in Vermont with my friend Lisa. First off the place we stayed at was absolutely beautiful and getting to know Chad and Gerard was wonderful. Our dinners together were fantastic. Who knew I’d come home with a couple new recipes! The atmosphere was amazing and so relaxing. A perfect setting for writing music. The writing sessions were intense, but at the same time Chad made you feel extremely supported and encouraged and every session was very rewarding. I’ve been writing songs for a very long time but have been stuck lately when trying to come up with lyrics. Chad’s workshop helped me to see how to write lyrics coming from a new direction and it opened up a whole new world for me. I left with a brand new song and new tools to help with my songwriting journey. I would recommend these songwriter retreats to anyone whether you’ve never written a song or have been writing for years. Thanks Chad!!!

I was looking to enhance my understanding of music by learning how to improve my songwriting skills. Chad's singer songwriter workshop was just what I needed! Individualized instruction and guidance (no matter your skill level), small group setting and a relaxed homey atmosphere! I not only walked away with a new song but I also walked away with new friends. Thanks so much Chad!
