Intermediate Songwriting:

You have the perfect melody, basically the perfect song. Now you need to write the lyrics to the music in your head or sheet of paper. Placing that perfect lyrical idea into a melody without it sounding unnatural is a common obstacle to many songwriters. An unfortunate setting of a word or phrase can sink the emotion of the song. This is a “can’t miss” course – it will to take your writing to the next level.

It will also make you a more valuable co-writer.

By the end of this course, you will:

  • Identify stressed, non-stressed and secondary syllables in a lyric line

  • Identify rhyme and hook positions within a song
  • Create the melody, verse and chorus lyrics
