Was named Best New Female Artist by Cashbox Magazine. Schock's 4th solo album, "American Romance," produced by Nik Venet, is in current release on GODSDOG Records. "Harriet Schock is a rare talent. In today's music industry, Schock stands out because she gets back to the basics." - Music Connection.
Harriet is a rare and wonderful blend of artist and teacher, fueled by a seemingly inexhaustible font of energy and enthusiasm. Her input in the areas of both words and music means that every song I write these days is absolutely the best song it can be." Leslie Claussen
"There may be other songwriters of Harriet Schock's caliber (though I wouldn't care to bet on how many), but how many of them possess the rare combination of knowing how to impart their craft to others, and the willingness to spend the time to do so? Anyone who is serious about a successful career in songwriting shouldn't miss an opportunity to study with Harriet Schock. Besides being well-versed in the craft, she can be quite an inspiration." Bruce Larsen
"Harriet's technique has totally transformed my writing, given it direction and focus. I consider her sort of a midwife for my works in progress." Frank Johnson
"When I came to America three weeks ago, I had written only three songs in two years for my new CD. Now I have the best CD I've made to date, and ten of my best songs ever. It was quite inspiring to talk to someone who understands songwriting to that degree." Andrej Surer
"Harriet Schock's information and technologies for writing great songs have been invaluable for me. for any serious writer it's a top priority." Bruce Miller
"I took Harriet's class four years ago and I'm still using the techniques. In fact, I've written more in the past four years than I have all my life." Dale Gonyea
"For me, Harriet's greatest virtue as a teacher is that she LISTENS. She helps me find the core of a song and make certain that all of the lyrics and the music are true to that core. Her style of teaching has also helped me find and define my own personal style." James F. Dean
"Regarding Harriet Schock's consultation, let me give you an analogy: your car stops running, you open the hood and stand gawking at a confusing collection of metal, wire, and rubber, you poke around, hit something, and the car starts. Next time it happens, you can't remember where you poked to make it go. You might get it started, you might poke and further disable it. You might give up, close the hood, and decide to stop driving for good. Well, songs, like cars, have their parts and if you don't understand them you could get stranded. Harriet Schock''s system is to thank for the better songs I have written. I would not dare show the songs I wrote before I began studying with her except to show how much I have grown and improved since." Steve Wagner
Harriet Schock belongs to Artists for a Better World. She has completed her fifth album "Rosebud," produced by Nik Venet. For more information on Harriet's career and albums, visit her website at Evening*Star Records.
