I went to the Songwriter's Institutes's write up page and I was reading along -- and it all seemed quite reasonable. They weren't talking "write a hit", they were talking about writing with and getting mentoring from a hit writer. Then I got to the price -- $2,500 for one day!!!! Oh well, you could get 10+ days with Marc-Alan Barnette (MAB) for the same price. ... and probably write a few songs with MAB, get performance tips, co-write with and meet up and coming artists, perform at a writer's night and whole, whole bunch more.

I guess there are those that complain that MAB is charging you to write with him -- but what could be a better way to learn how to write songs than actually write them! I can personally vouch for MAB and would gladly recommend his services to any aspiring songwriter.
