Throughout this course I have referred to various resources available to the musician bent on creating songs that promote and invite and attract healing. In some cases, I named them when referred to. But here is a reference section for the resources and tools I have found useful in my own journey as a musician who creates songs that shift energies and vibrations and create an opportunity for the listener to heal misconceptions and release energetic debris. By no means is it complete, but it is capable of helping you to have more than enough tools and techniques and information to make beautiful and powerful music.

Songwriting Tools
Recorders
Digital recorders make the perfect sketch pads for song ideas. They are also useful for live recording of work with clients, if that is where you are headed. The recorders use inexpensive SD flash drives (just bought 64GB for only $32…wow!). Easy erase. Easy to download to computer for CD burn or conversion into MP3, though some recorders allow original recording in MP3.These are a must have in these times for a songwriter. Just turn on and put down a lyric idea or a melodic sketch…on and on. Lots to choose from including models from Zoom, Sony, Tascam, and Roland for under $500 max.
Zoom H4n
