Description
Ever wondered how PRO songwriters are able to write incredible melodies and lyrics, time and time again?
Whether you are brand new to songwriting, or already have several tracks in the bank - this course will show you the exact steps that professional writers use to write killer toplines.
"What makes this course different from other courses?"
Most other songwriting courses focus on writing "traditional" songs - often using a keyboard or a guitar for accompaniment.
However, an increasing number of tracks that are released these days are not written like this. Instead, the tracks are first produced (without any vocals), and then a professional 'topliner' is hired to provide the melody and lyrics.
Writing this way is very different from writing with an instrument, and therefore requires a different skill set. This course is designed to teach you how to write as a topliner, not as a traditional songwriter.
I'll show you every step involved in the toplining process, from finding tracks to write to, all the way up to actually submitting your track to the producer / publisher. This is the exact same method that myself and countless other writers use every day in order to write commercial songs which artists WANT to release. Following these steps has allowed me to have records released with artists all over the world, receiving hundreds of thousands of streams online.
I've spent countless hours learning the secrets of songwriting, and I've created this course so that you don't have to do the same.
Who this course is for:
- This course is aimed towards songwriters who have traditionally written songs using their guitar / keyboard, but would like to dive into the world of toplining. However, the course is very thorough and beginner songwriters will still easily be able to follow along.
