Perfect for beginning songwriters for anyone who may not understand the music industry, this book provides the perfect primer on how to be seen as a professional.
In addition to instruction about the art and craft of writing a song, readers will find advice about market considerations that make their songs salable.
With this book's guidance, songwriters will begin writing songs strong in emotion, clear in idea, musically beautiful, and supremely salable. Great songs are a highly disciplined art form; they are 100 percent creativity yet 100 percent structured. This book teaches why readers mustn't second-guess song ideas before they can evolve, why their intention in writing a song must be clear, how to put words together in easy-to-sing lines, how to marry lyrics to muse, and how to write a strong melodic hook.
