Songwriting lessons
How lessons work
Before our first lesson: We’ll have a brief conversation to assess your level of experience (writing, playing instruments, or both), and what genres of music inspire you. From there, we’ll create personalized goals.
Beginners: Depending on skillset and experience, beginner students will start with songwriting basics: song structure, lyric writing exercises, harmony and melody basics, and rhyming techniques. You’ll write songs weekly based on these techniques and exercises.
Intermediate/Advanced: For more experienced songwriters, our lessons will be centered around fine-tuning your songs: advanced lyric writing techniques, writers block solutions, reharmonization exercises and recording techniques.
After our lesson: I’ll provide exercises and tasks to work on throughout the week. Please practice, practice, practice and reach out directly to me with questions or issues.
Interested in writing your own music but don’t know how to get started? I’ve been writing original music for 16+ years in various styles including: Pop, Soul, Funk, R&B, Folk, Singer-Songwriter and Jazz. I’ve spent many hours (days, months, years) fine-tuning my approach to writing songs. Take a listen to my original music on my website.
