But how can we find the time to create? Here are some amazing songwriting tips!  1. Find a Quiet Space Seriously, avoid trying to work in your home with the kids and the chores and the television all begging for your time. Instead, find a quiet place in your home or at a coffee shop to write music . 2. Try Something NEW Always writing the same old ballads or songs? Then try something new. Challenge yourself to try a new style of music.  3. Learn Music Theory You don't have to be a composer music theory guru to enjoy writing music. But songwriters DO benefit from learning music theory, harmony, rhythm, and how to read music. If you don't know where to look, try some simple exercises from books like Songwriting 101 .  4. Borrow from other Tunes. Really, it's that simple. You can b...

Creativity, Composing, and Confidence, with Sabrina Peña Young

What's the secret to becoming a composer? http://musl.ink/pod148 Today we have the pleasure of speaking with someone we’ve wanted to have on the show since day one, a long-time collaborator at Musical U and at Easy Ear Training before that, Sabrina Peña Young. Sabrina is an award-winning composer who created the first ever original fully-animated opera , Libertaria. We’ve long been in awe of the range and scale of projects Sabrina manages to take on and bring to success, and for the first time we got to sit down with her and actually dig into the question of how she manages to do all that she does. Sabrina is certainly someone who people would be quick to call “talented” or “gifted”, yet we knew from working with her that she had as little belief in the importance of natural talent as we do – so we were utterly curious to know: if it’s not talent, how does she do it all? In this conversation we talk about: - Sabrina’s musical upbringing and how helpful attention to deta...

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?
