While there are technically no limits when it comes to song writing, here are 20 "unofficial" rules that songwriters employ to make songs more engaging and memorable. And it is not just commercial songwriters. These rules are used in many of the popular and GRAMMY-winning songs you hear today. In this course, Clifford Goldmach reveals tips from the professional songwriter's rule-book, starting with 10 rules about lyrics: staying conversational, using concrete details, and keeping your rhyme schemes the same in similar sections. He then discusses five rules for melodies, including why you should keep melodies simple, unique, and accessible, and how to make them more memorable with repetition. The last five rules tackle familiar song structures and tips for shortening sections of songs.
Topics include:
Song writing is a great skill and in fact, it can also make you money. If you are a singer, learning how to write your own songs can also be impressive and can also put you into an advantage over other singers. Keep in mind that there are a lot of people out there who knows how to sing well but it helps a lot that you don't only just sing but write your own songs as well.
Uniqueness and originality are important in writing songs. If you blend in to what is already in the market, you may eventually be forgotten. Among the song writing tips that might help you make your own songs is to make it stand out, make it original and make it something that people want to listen to. Know your target audience as well. This will help you find an easier market and fan base for your songs. Of course, not all songs can please all people but see to it that it can please a larger crowd.
