Do you want to write lyrics that really connect with an audience? Do you want to learn pro-standard songwriting methods?
As an Artists and repertoire representative at a music licensing company, I listened to many songs every week. Of those that are nearly there but not quite, it's the lyrics that often pose a problem: lyrics without a story, or too much cliche or no consistent theme. It's a myth that pop lyrics are meaningless. Pro songwriters spend a lot of time on lyrics.
In this course, you will learn how to craft lyrics like a professional songwriter and what errors to avoid. Specifically, we will look at:
The course begins by looking at some very effective lyrics, then asks you to craft your own. There are video and text exercises to complete and you will have a chance to get my feedback on your lyrics or to post them for group feedback which may just help you find co-writers.
Whether you are aiming for a publishing deal or just starting out in songwriting, this course is for you. For new lyric writers it will set you up with sound principles, and for experienced songwriters, it will help break lyrical bad habits. It is open to writers in all musical genres.
I also hold a Master of Music in Songwriting as well as having written with well-established writers, so you can trust that the methods I teach are industry-recognized.
You should be willing to learn and challenge your current ways of writing.
