 FAQs

  • Yes – beginners, intermediates, and advanced writers are all welcome.

  • If you already write songs, we can help you take your work to the next level by refining your lyrics, melodies, and song structure, and helping you avoid common pitfalls that can hold songs back from sounding professional or radio-ready. You'll get personalised feedback and exercises tailored to your style and goals, plus guidance on how to make your songs stand out to listeners and industry professionals. If you're interested, we can also support you in developing your vocal delivery, so your songs connect even more powerfully with your audience.

  • Yes, you can mix vocal lessons with your songwriting class if you’d like to develop both your writing and singing skills together. However, it’s completely optional—if you prefer to focus only on songwriting, that’s perfectly fine. The lessons are tailored to your goals, whether you want to work on your songs, your vocals, or both.

  • Yes! Bring your lyrics, melodies, or demos — we’ll work on your material, not just exercises.

  • If you want quick, professional feedback on your mix, production, or songwriting, you can book a 30-minute online feedback session through our dedicated feedback page. This option includes 30 minutes of preparation on our side and a 30-minute live session with you—ideal for focused advice without committing to a full course.

  • Absolutely! If you want to develop both your songwriting and music production skills, we recommend our long-term course. This program combines integrated songwriting and music production lessons, starting from 2 hours per week. Each stage is tailored to your personal goals, just like all our courses at PopLab Zürich, ensuring you get focused, hands-on guidance every step of the way.

  • Definitely — if your goal is to write for others, we can tailor the lessons to industry-level writing and pitching strategies.

  • All lessons are private (1-on-1), so you get 100% personalised attention.

  • Specialities lie in: Pop, Afro-pop, R&B, Electro, Indie, Alternative, Folk & Singer-Songwriter. All other genres are off course also welcome! However, we don’t teach Jazz & Classical.

  • Music theory will only be taught as much as needed. The main focus is on songwriting—structure, feeling, and impact—not on theory, unless you specifically want to dive deeper. Sometimes a bit of theory is helpful to understand certain aspects of songwriting, but the priority is always helping you write great songs that connect with listeners.

  • Yes — we offer a free 1-hour trial lesson so you can experience the teaching style and decide if it’s right for you.

  • At our studio in Kreis 5, Zurich – easily reachable by public transport and 5 min walk from Zurich HB.
