The Coach
I’m Lisa — here to help you feel good about creating, writing and recording your own music.
I am like you, a die-hard musician. I toured as an artist, had a publicist, got some radio play, wrote all my own material and released an album. It was a wonderful education, but I wish there had been someone to help me figure things or support me in balancing my life while maintaining authenticity during the creative process!
Let’s Talk. I would love to hear from you!

“Lisa has been there since the beginning. She helped me write my first song and I haven’t stopped since. To date, I’ve finished a five-song project and I gig regularly with my band. Whenever I need some advice, I give her a call and we talk it through. She’s amazing and I couldn’t have come this far without her love and caring support. She’s amazing!”
Haley Copello, singer-songwriter
“Songwriting has always been very therapeutic for me and I naturally gravitate to strong, solid, brutally honest lyrics. Lisa’s songwriting guidance has helped me understand that I have to stand up for what I feel and want to express. She helped me be more courageous and I couldn’t have done it without her encouragement.”
Alyssa Jacklin, singer-songwriter
SONG EVALUATIONS
ARE YOU READY TO MAKE MUSIC & WRITE SONGS?
THEN YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
My coaching style is supportive and always encouraging with deliverable results. After 30 years of writing songs, I am here to demystify the process and help you shape your message through tailored exercises, lyric writing, formatting and positive feedback.
SO WHAT IS A SONG EVALUATION ?
A song evaluation session with Lisa is a time to explore your song from multiple angles — lyrics, melody, rhythm, structure and emotional impact. Together we’ll look at what might need refining, how best to tell your story using lyric, genre and style. Sessions are always confidential and designed to encourage you to be a stronger writer. Keep in mind I work best in the styles of r&b, indie, country, jazz, funk or pop formats.
If you are looking to produce and/or record your music (beyond top lines or lyrics), our studio Love & Laughter Music Group offers in-depth Songwriting & Production support with a team of award-winning music makers and songwriters.
Through constructive feedback and a tailored coaching session, I’ll empower you to:
Sharpen your creative instincts bringing clarity to the story you are telling
Develop a stronger emotional and artistic connection to your songs, giving them authenticity and appeal.
Develop an understanding on how song structure works to help you write more powerful songs
Transform your songwriting process into one that’s both fulfilling and results-driven.
HERE’S HOW WE’LL WORK TOGETHER
Each session will last 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Cost per session is $120
Each session is held in person, over the phone or on Zoom.
We’ll start with where you are right now in your process.
Maybe you would like to start from scratch, with no song idea, no lyrics and/or no music

Maybe you have lyrics only
Maybe you only have a musical idea, but you need lyrics written
