Songwriting is the backbone of the music industry, and it’s not as simple as it may seem to write a smash hit. You'll learn how contemporary songs are written, how they’re structured and what it takes to craft a chart-topper! This Songwriting course is delivered by professional songwriters who have worked with artists such as Jamelia, Bob Marley, Warren G, Sugababes, All Saints and more.
The Songwriting course teaches students how contemporary songs are put together and what makes them successful. If you want to sell your songs and make a living from your music, then it's essential that you have an understanding of music theory, composition and arrangement techniques. We also look at the music industry now and explore copyright, publishing and promotion. Practical exercises form an integral part of this course so students are expected to be able to either play an instrument, sing or have some experience in music production software such as Logic Pro or Ableton Live.
