Description
Hi, I'm Nathan
I have developed a step-by-step course blending a creative idea generating approach with a structured template to capture and present your ideas to your screaming fans!
Let's face the music, a song without lyrics is an instrumental... Put lyrics and a voice behind it and you have the magic which is your favourite song speaking directly to who you are and what makes you human.
The music industry revolves around one thing: THE HIT SONG and the SONGWRITER. Without songs there is no industry... or no STAR.
Whatever your approach to songwriting, whatever your skill level. Whether you start with lyrics/chords/melody/hooks, the music you write will crave a lyrical concept that makes it relatable to an audience.
The ABSOLUTE WORST FEELING in the world is having something to say and not knowing how to say it. i.e. WRITER'S BLOCK.
This course comprises of 5+ hours of interactive videos where I lead you along the journey of LYRICAL LIBERTY. Each section has great knowledge nuggets, exercises, song studies and resources building towards a STEP-BY-STEP 'Writing Process Mind-Map' and 'Lyric Template'. At the end of this course you will be empowered with TOOLS not RULES to approaching songwriting and not just leave your next hit to chance.
When you apply these resources and tools to any ideas generated before or through-out the course you will have a FULLY FINISHED and RECORDED SONG ready for your audience to indulge.
(No I am not teaching how to produce the song, just write it organically with structure that will be ready for recording)
Can't wait to hear the fruits of your labor and investment.
Let's get started !
