Comments from attendees of Jason’s workshops:

“No other teacher has Jason's simple, effective and easy to understand ideas for writing songs. I have been to Jason's workshops every year in a row and have learned something new and exciting about writing every time. Since learning his "tools of the trade", I have refined my writing skills to the point where my songs have made it onto commercial radio and I have played them on stages with artists as big as Bon Jovi!
