What You Will Learn?
- In this course, you’ll write a song in an hour. You don’t even have to come in with an idea. Just bring your voice and an instrument you can play while you sing, and I’ll walk you through each step in the process. You’ll go from nothing to a completed song before the laundry’s done!A Practical, Reliable Method.
- I’ve written dozens of songs in front of live audiences, on the clock. Over time, it got easier- I honed my process so that it works every time. I’m not a beginner, but my songwriting method is a great place for beginners to start. Advice on “finding your creativity” is fine and all, but you’re looking at a blank sheet of paper and thinking “What do I do now?” This class is a series of step-by-step instructions: follow the steps, get a song. It’s brutally practical, and it works..
- Who is this class for?.
- This course is for beginner songwriters. If you’re writing your very first song, you’re in the right place. If you’ve written a song or two, but feel like it was a kind of a fluke, then this is the course for you. If you’re a more advanced songwriter, you may find this class useful as a writer’s block exercise, or as a method to speed up your songwriting process..
