Songwriting

Most beginners write a verse, hit a wall, and never finish a song, or they finish one that wanders with no hook and no emotional center. This course teaches songwriting as a craft with repeatable tools: the section forms that hit songs actually use, the melodic moves (contour, range, rhythm, repetition) that make a hook stick, the lyric techniques (object writing, point of view, the title-as-payoff) that make words land, and a working knowledge of harmony (the number system, diatonic chords, common progressions, borrowed chords) so you can build progressions in any key. By the end you will have written complete songs and a personal toolkit you can reuse for the rest of your writing life, across pop, folk, country, rock, R and B, and more.
