One hour. One clearer path.
Your song doesn’t need more random advice. It needs the right set of ears.
A promising idea can stay unfinished for months because you’re too close to it. Percy will teach you how to hear what’s working, find what’s missing, and make intentional choices that help a song connect.
Strengthen what people remember
Look at melody, lyric, structure, and repetition through the listener’s ears.
Move from stuck to finished
Make the decisions that turn fragments and voice notes into a complete song.
Learn from a builder of songs that last

Questions
Before you register
Is this only for professional songwriters?
No. It’s for anyone with a serious desire to strengthen their songwriting, whether you have released music or are still working on your first finished song.
What happens in the optional Q&A?
The one-hour Q&A begins after the main masterclass. You can ask Percy a direct question and learn from the questions and coaching happening across the room.
How does the early song submission work?
Register by October 31, 2026 and submit one MP3 or video up to two minutes. Percy will select ten songs for private custom feedback. Submission does not guarantee selection.
Do I need a finished song to benefit from this?
No. Come with a lyric, melody, voice memo, rough demo, or simply the song idea you can’t seem to finish. Percy’s teaching will help you identify what may be missing and make stronger decisions about what to do next.
