Because this app is amazing

Undoubtedly worth it

Andrea's work—and her team—are incredibly relevant to a songwriter's journey! It's the tailor-made learning process I didn’t even know I was waiting for.

EMC is an amazing value and source of support for independent artists

I’m an independent artist. Before I joined the EMC, I was struggling to pinpoint the problem areas with my songs, and I felt isolated without a local music community. Since joining the EMC in late July, I’ve had several breakthroughs on songs for my upcoming EP, gained a clearer understanding of my strengths and learned how to address my biggest areas of improvment. The regular cadence of live classes with Andrea and other industry experts, along with the weekly check-ins led by Chad Shank have been both a great source of learning and a balm for isolation. Andrea’s classes gave me easy-to-use tools for writing more emotionally resonant melodies and lyrics, while Chad’s sessions sparked interesting and insightful peer feedback that helped me improve my creative process. Overall I think the EMC offers amazing value for independent artists looking for a supportive community, insightful feedback and a structured way to keep learning and growing. Highly recommended!

Fabulous and Gifted Teacher

I can’t say enough about Andrea’s programs. She’s such a fabulous and gifted teacher! Her content is stellar, and a great value. I’ve learned so much in the last few months and see great results applying her tools. If songwriting is an interest, you will be thrilled to have Andrea in your life.

This program has been mostly positive

This program has been mostly positive. I realize that they are still new and figuring things so I’m keeping that in mind. I would love to have more opportunities to work with Andrea and other high tier song writers. Also would love to have more guest speakers that are leaders in the industry like Benjamin Groff.

It’s good instruction and tips

It’s good instruction and tips, and Andrea is clearly a professional in this area. Also, I have been learning a lot by listening to the feedback provided to other participants and from some of the songs posted.

Andrea Stolpe EMC

Andrea Stolpe and her team at the EMC are very special to me and have been since April 2022 when I started. The value of the material presented, the quality of the people presenting the information and collaborating experiences in the group have helped me achieve the progress I have made on my goals. The EMC experience keeps my interest and provides constant motivation towards creating my best songs and my best collaborations.

If you're thinking about doing the retreat, you should!

Andrea is an incredible teacher who gives a very personal touch to how she runs these retreats. I felt motivated, inspired, and had a new found confidence in my writing after spending a week with her and about 20 other attendees. I definitely recommend doing this retreat!

Andrea is a Brilliant Songwriting Mentor

Andrea is a deep well of songwriting craft knowledge with an even deeper, multifaceted heart. She understands songwriting, and songwriters and she knows how to meet any songwriter where they're at and take them higher.

Andrea Stolpe songwriting retreat near Nashville

Collaborating in trios to speedwrite and then perform songs was exhilerating. A striking team spirit developed among the songwriters. Andrea has enormous empathy and patience. In her individual coaching she listens carefully to each participant and imparts a valuable, well distilled nugget. Madison worked diligently with the resort staff to maximize our comfort and well being.

Amazing

I attended with low expectations and was blown away by the retreat. Words can't describe how good the retreat was - it was transformational! You barely get a chance to connect on such a deep level with other like-minded people. Andrea and her team made this a once in a lifetime experience! I'll be back :)

A incredibly moving week!

This retreat was an incredible and life-changing experience. I found my way here sort of by happenstance, and the could not have found the whole week more moving. From the workshops, to the small group sessions, co-writes, and everything in between, the retreat helped me on my journey--in ways both expected and unexpected. It was a vulnerable, safe, moving, and constructive week! Much growth happened, and I look forward to possible doing this again someday!

My Songwriting week

Had a great week amazing people and very relaxing creating a good space for creativity. My only thing is that I had wished there would’ve been more time for songwriting but I know sometimes that’s out of anyone’s control. Thank you for an amazing week!

Andrea is a great teacher

Andrea is a great teacher. She taught me things that only people with lots of experience can teach, saving me time and effort. The whole operation is top notch. The songwriting retreat ran like a well oiled machine. Being around so many talented singers, musicians and songwriters was very inspiring. Thank you Andrea and Maddie for an awesome experience.

What an amazing week

What an amazing week! A dream for any songwriter. The group of individuals that Stolpe's team selects are all talented and kind. So, so glad I signed up for this retreat. The food was good to boot!

Nashville Singer/Songwriter Retreat

Andrea’s retreat was so worth it! I learned so much and made wonderful friends. I enjoyed it so much even despite not feeling my best the last day. We had amazing workshops and had different collaborations to work with for three nights. Amazing artists attended from all over the world, Gordon Kennedy was a guest speaker sharing his music and uplifting thoughts, yoga, and great food! So glad I attended! Thank you

Inspiring and exciting!

Inspiring, exciting, educational, intense -- with lots of fun and laughs! I plunged into songwriting in 2020 and have taken many classes (Old Town School of Folk Music, Vanderbilt, Steve Seskin). All were excellent (especially Steve's), but Andrea's workshop was the most intense songwriting experience I've had: helpful, entertaining lectures; energized and somewhat frantic co-writing sessions; plenty of time for private guidance from Andrea. Importantly, everyone in the four-day workshop -- regardless of age or songwriting stage -- was clearly committed to improving his or her craft and helping others improve theirs. I'll be back!

The Perfect Blend of Learning and Community

Andrea provides excellent instruction and follows it up with daily co-writing challenges to practice what we learn. The attendees were talented, personable, and encouraging.
