Foster a lifelong, creative practice through lessons and exercises that integrate 3 main pillars of songwriting: inspiration, lyricism, and musicality.
The Practice of Songwriting guides people of all levels toward a rewarding craft of popular songwriting, progressively developing a range of skills. Each concept is clearly explained and then reinforced through exercises and analyses of examples from popular songs that demonstrate the same techniques. Learn about an array of topics, including:
- Music theory 101 for songwriters
- Melody writing
- Song structure
- Literary devices, character, and meaning in context for lyrics
- Creative inspirations and fears
- Storytelling
- Combining lyrical meaning with music composition
With its focus on incremental growth and thoughtful revisions of songs, this holistic approach helps songwriters build confidence. It not only teaches the foundations but also shows how to continue exploring and refining your authentic voice as a lifelong pursuit.
