(Session 6)
Writing Outstanding Lyrics.
(Melbourne) |
|
In this next session, we will
continue to look at some other great tools and some great techniques that hit songwriters use. Hit
songwriters living on songwriting as a career use such tools
and techniques
to write their songs against those who have written one hit wonders.
Such tools are proper rhyming, Laundry list, alliteration
and assonance, and many other tools that have helped successful
songwriters achieve their dreams. It is so simple that many take
them for granted. However, those who uses their grey matter and
apply these to their songwriting find great success.

(Session 1) Marketable
Song Form
(Sydney) This is the beginning of the
journey for new students. We will take a look at what are song forms
that are marketable and compare them with forms that doesn't work,
and why. Students songs done during the course will be using one of
these marketable forms. The following class will look at an approach
to songwriting that are used by some major songwriters and
singer-songwriters, an approach that makes it very easy for songwriters
to write hits where they know they cannot go wrong.
