Description

A video tutorial on how to help and inspire the beginner songwriter. The course will explain and identify the elements involved with a starting idea, lyrical and (or) musical, and how to expand that idea (or seed as I like to call it) into a song. The process is a creative journey full of twists and turns. That is what makes songwriting so interesting and magical. The marriage of music and lyrics.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone with some ability to write lyrics or music.
