Turn your inspiration into beautiful songs with step-by-step guidance through two professional songwriting methods.

What you'll learn
Two completely different methods for writing songs: starting from lyrics, and starting from melody.
How to write compelling lyrics that tell your story and captivate your listeners.
How to create a meaningful relationship between your lyrics and music.
How to make great chord choices to support your lyrics.
Detailed breakdown of the two most common song forms.
A stack of practical exercises and tools for finishing your songs, every time.
Requirements
No prior songwriting experience needed!
An initial song idea, or unfinished songs you want to finish.
The ability to play basic chords on the guitar or piano (or the willingness to learn).
Or familiarity with a DAW to create chord-based tracks.
The burning desire to write some songs!
A good sense of humor, and the willingness to try.
This course is not for people who believe that you either 'have it' or you don't. It is for people who understand that you can get better at anything, if you have the right tools, and are willing to practice.
