Available Master Classes
Here are some of David Cloyd’s favorite master classes that are currently prepared:
- MUSIC & LYRICS 101. Explore songwriting—the inside, the outside, and the mystery in the middle. As a songwriter, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and get lost in the possibilities. During this master class, David shines some light on what’s hiding behind the “Music & Lyrics,” then draws a map to help you find your way out of those deep dark woods, including song forms, harmonic progressions, and separating “the song” from “the recording.” Includes live song analysis (can be based on attendee suggestions, even on the spot).
- THE SONG PYRAMID. Discover how to tap into your three sources of inspiration through deep song analysis—the key to songwriting and a deeper understanding of YOUR creative self. Includes live song analysis (can be based on attendee suggestions decided prior to the master class).

Songwriting is the center of my musical universe.
I’ve been playing music since I was four years old, and teaching music lessons on a variety of instruments, pursuits and styles for at least 25 years. And I’m still a big believer in the fundamentals—discipline, technique, practicing, music theory… no matter what kind of musician you want to be, it isn’t fun if you can’t play. But songwriting is the center of my musical universe. It holds it all together for me—constantly giving me the focus, meaning, and purpose I need to return to the well over and over again. There’s only one feeling in the world better than finishing a song, and that’s starting the next one.
