About Ellen
Music captured my attention early through the challenge of fitting lyrics to a melody. I spent 13 years developing my craft and teaching 262 students how to organize their creative thoughts.
My work with beginners and gigging musicians centers on the reality that writing is a skill to be practiced. We look at chord progressions as the foundation for your storytelling rather than just background noise.
Aspiring artists and teens find that understanding harmony basics makes their writing feel more intentional. Motif and theme development help you maintain a thread through every verse and chorus. I show you how to apply genre conventions for pop, country, folk, and R&B without losing your artistic voice. My goal remains to help you reach a place where your songs communicate exactly what you intended for your listeners.

A memorable chorus feels like the first time you hear a secret melody ringing in your ears. We spend time on hook and top-line writing to ensure your listeners walk away humming the main theme. Beginners learn to balance technical theory with the raw emotion that defines a great song. This is essential for artists who want to bridge the gap between amateur drafts and professional compositions.
Writing takes practice. We refine your approach to structure during every single meeting. You will find that these strategies keep your momentum high while we work through your latest drafts. You can count on a steady and honest environment where your songwriting goals guide the agenda.
