So some of those rookie errors include writing songs that have no story. And wireframing is a little way of working that's going to help you avoid some of the rookie mistakes that lyric editors can make. Wireframing: Okay, Now we're going to look at the concept of wireframing. Or if you want, you can send it to me as a private message from my feedback, or you can choose not to share it. So I'm not asking you to finish an entire song, but if you could try to complete a verse and chorus, and you can post what you come up with in the question section of this course for feedback. If you're a singer or you're a producer writer using Ableton this week, try and write on an instrument. So if you're a guitarist and usually start with chord sequence this week, try starting with a melody. It doesn't mean one that you've never used, but just one that isn't your standard practice. Okay, So this is your first task this week, choose a method of writing that you don't usually work with.
A lot of people know I write a program such as Ableton on co-writing, but we'll look at that in more depth later. And so he, he is subverting the Hallelujah chorus, which is really great writing using loops or technology. And uses it to describe quite a dark state of mind, sort of sorrowful place to be. Whereas here, Leonard Cohen uses the same word, Hallelujah, which we would associates with that big, joyful songs. If you think of Handel's Hallelujah chorus, It's an expression of joy and it's very exuberant. But as my own song writing tutor used to say, tolerant, borrows, genius steals. In other words, taking inspiration from other art forms. If you've got a lyric that scans really well, this is a great way to write. So it's quite a legitimate way to write, to start with the chain to the harmonics, the chords afterwards. And flack singers quite often write quite interesting chains because they use bold intervals in their melodies. And being a singer, I'm not so much an instrumentalist, is no reason not to write songs. Now you're likely to write this way if you're primarily a singer. But when you're writing your melody over the chords, you don't stick too close to the root note of the chord all the time. Just be careful if you're just starting out. Now you're likely to write this way if you're primarily a guitarist or a case player, if you're primarily an instrumentalist, you to write like this, the bound jobs, a chord sequence on Bono sings over the top of it. Jessie J songwriting team also use top lining chords first. Kylie Minogue, one on the velo Award for top lining. It's when a producer comes up with an instrumental track and sends it to a top liner, who is the person who writes the chain on the words over the instrumental track. Now that's at the moment quite common practice in the music industry. And there's obviously a lot of different ways to write a song. Let's just take a while to reflect on what methods of songwriting you're using at the moment. Songwriting Methods: So before we get into the nitty-gritty of the course and learn some new ways of working. I'm looking forward to working with you.Ģ. So I hope you're excited to get started on.
When you complete a task, you can post it on the question section of this course for feedback from me and other students or you consented to meet privately as a message. You can do the ones that you think you're going to be most helpful to you on. There are quite a lot of tasks that you could do this course you can kind of take it or leave it. There's going to be exercises in each section. We're gonna be looking at the craft of some reading the artistic side, and that's things like writing a melody, writing lyrics, creating a hook on. We're gonna be licking its, um, really exciting topics of this course. So I'm hoping that I'm gonna be able to help you with your songwriting.
And also, I've had my music used in an adverse mints. And I've been lucky enough to work with some multi platinum selling artists. In other words, I make my living through song writing on also through teaching songwriting and music. My name is Eve Williams, and I'm a commercial songwriter.
I hope you're gonna have some good fun on this course. I like you so much for joining the art business of a songwriter.
