This highly-customisable programme is aimed at complete beginners who are new to the whole process of songwriting to intermediate level songwriters who want to progress further in terms of more advanced chord progressions, chorus-hooks and so on.
The module covers the following:

• Modern song structure and forms

We will answer questions like – which comes first, lyrics or melody? How to overcome songwriter’s block? How to write better, nicer and more catchy songs? Why do some songs do better commercially than others? And so on. The songwriting programme is a must for those wishing to scale the heights of deep musicianship – to be a composer of original music.
