Content and Overview

This course is suitable for beginner and intermediate writers because the tips and tools on offer can be used as many times as you like to create new material. In this course of 35 lectures and 3+ hours of content, you'll learn how to access your creativity in new ways, and go from a blank sheet of paper to a complete set of lyrics that tell a compelling story. Sections 2, 3, and 4, each chapter ends with an exercise so that you can put your newly learned skills into practical use instantly. 

You will also learn more about your creative process and how to maximize it; why capturing your ideas is so important; a way to use mind maps for lyric writing and why knowing the reason 'why' you are creating is critical.

It can be hard to come up with lyric ideas for songs. You will learn how to write from a different perspective (like “Whatever Happens” for Michael Jackson), how to collect and use lyrics from a weekend supplement, and how to create words that are sense filled and have poetic imagery. With all these tools, you’ll have something to write about.

Then once you have a fistful of words, what do you do with them? How do you make them into a song? This course will give you a strong foundation in how to structure your song, knowing the roles of each of the various sections (verse, chorus, pre-chorus, and bridge), using contrast so you can compose lyrics that have meaning and expression, and make sense from beginning to end. Someone once said that writing a song is like making a sculpture you have to find it. When you finish this course, you will be able to find your lyrics anytime.
