How to Write Songs for Fun and (Maybe) Profit by Michael Lydon |
|
| Assuming no musical knowledge, Songwriting
Success breaks down the craft of melody and lyric writing into easily
digested lessons that anyone can follow. Writing songs requires so many
music and language skills that the beginner is often overwhelmed. Shall
I work on the music first or the lyrics? What makes a lyric memorable or
a melody catchy? Do I start with the chorus first? The only way to face
so many worrying questions is to take them on one by one. Songwriting
Success shows the beginning songwriter how to integrate the craft's
many skills into a seamless artistic and commercial whole.
Lydon also has recorded a special CD taking the budding songwriter who can't read music (or prefers to learn by listening) step-by-step through the writing of a song-from initial idea through crafting melodic hooks and catchy choruses to creating a final "demo" version for marketing the song. This invaluable learning aid sets apart Songwriting Success from the competing titles that don't feature an audio component. From putting pen to paper to getting your songs heard, Songwriting Success offers a quick, fun, and useful introduction to the world of songwriting.. |
