Teach Yourself Songwriting

Teach Yourself Songwriting will be an essential companion for any aspiring songwriter, and is ideal for those with no formal musical education.

Covering every genre of popular contemporary music, from rock and pop to musical theatre and country/western, it tracks everything from what you will need to harnessing your creative potential, finding a 'hook' and even selling, performing and promoting your performance and/or songs on a professional level.

It tackes such basics as whether to write down lyrics first or melody - or both together! - but also offers some material for those at a slightly more advanced level who'd like to understand such things as chords and sequencing, or harmony.

With easy-to-understand notation, and an accompanying CD which showcases the process at work - from the first notes to the recorded performance - this accessible guide from a professional songwriter will prove indispensable for would-be Songwriters .
