Part I
So You Want to Be a Songwriter
In this part . . .
We all have songs inside us just waiting to come out. The real key to songwriting is not only figuring out the combination to what unlocks that music within you, but also developing methods to capture these little gems of inspiration before they fly away. And like most gifts, there is some assembly required, so it’s vital to discover the what-goes-where of a song. Also important is knowing where your taste in music might lie? Are you heavy metal, easy listening, or one of the hundreds of shades in between? It’s easy to argue that a great song is a great song; still, every song seems to live and breathe best in a particular style, or genre. In this part, we not only look at many of the different directions your song can take, we give you everything you need to get started in your songwriting journey.
