How to Write a Song: Tips for Writing Lyrics to Music | Songwriting | Ti...

Placing that perfect lyrical idea into a melody without it sounding unnatural is a common obstacle to many songwriters. An unfortunate setting of a word or phrase can sink the emotion of the song, calling your listener's attention away from WHAT you are saying to HOW you are saying it. Writing Lyrics to Music analyzes a variety of song forms to instruct you on key lyrical and melodic components: stressed and unstressed beats, rhyme positions, melodic sections, and tone. You'll work through different musical feels and time signatures, and discover how the natural shapes of the words follow the shape of the melody, ultimately creating a much more expressive composition. This is a "can't miss" course - it's bound to take your writing to the next level. It will also make you a more valuable co-writer. Like this video? Want to write better music?

Some of them I can chalka up to being a student composer trying too hard to impress while knowing little of what makes actual sense to a performer, part of it probably was simply time constraint, and some of it, well, I guess it's just lack of sleep.  In any case, here are 3 Horribly REAL composer mistakes that I have made in my scores. 1. Music Lyrics Disaster I don't know what I was thinking, but clearly I had no idea how to really write out lyrics for this choral work that I wrote in college. Seriously? What IS this? Fre-sh? NOT! 2. Ugly Composer Manuscript My undergrad prof made us all write out our scores by hand, mainly to avoid too much dependence on computers to write our music for us. All the same, this is one UGLY manuscript. BTW, you can download this flute solo HERE:  http://imslp.o...
