All your questions answered...

Is it possible to learn songwriting?

Absolutely — songwriting is a craft, not a superpower. Like learning to play guitar or drums, songwriting is a skill that develops with the right mix of guidance, practice, and creative exploration. At JAM, we believe great songs come from two places: personal expression and solid technique. That’s why our new Artist Development & Songwriting Program focuses on helping you find your voice and sharpen your tools — from lyric writing to melody-building and everything in between.

How much do songwriting lessons cost?

Costs can vary depending on the format — one-to-one coaching, group workshops, or full programs. At JAM, songwriting is part of our broader Artist Development Program, which includes songwriting sessions, coaching, and studio time. You’re not just learning how to write songs — you’re developing as an artist with real-world support.

How do you learn to be a songwriter?

You start by writing. Then rewriting. Then writing again. But more than that, you learn by surrounding yourself with the right people — mentors who’ve been there, and collaborators who push you creatively. JAM’s Artist Development & Songwriting Program is built exactly for this. Led by Rory, an experienced songwriter and founder of Red Tiger Records, the course gives you practical tools, personal feedback, and the confidence to create music that feels authentic — and sounds professional.

Is 30 too old to be a songwriter?

Not even close. If you’ve got something to say, it’s never too late to start saying it through music. Some of the most iconic songs ever written came from artists well into adulthood — because life experience matters. Whether you’re 13 or 30 (or 50), songwriting is about connection, not age. At JAM, we welcome artists of all backgrounds, ages, and stages. If you’re serious about making music that matters, we’re here for it.

My son absolutely loves his drum lessons and teachers. He always looks forward to his sessions each week. It's great to see his confidence gradually building and how happy it makes him when he learns a new beat. As well as being taught, he loves the fact the teachers also allow him to pick songs and experiment with sounds himself too. Theo is looking forward to the start of another term with Jam. Thank you.

JAM school has changed my teens daughter life. For years she was doing ABRSM grades but when she joined JAM that when she started enjoying playing an instrument. Not only her one to one guitar lessons are great, the best is playing in a band. The social side of this, soon becomes the best part of the weekend. New friendships, encourage to try new instruments, to try singing, to perform in front of people, etc.... we are very lucky to have JAM school in Tunbridge Wells!
