Professional songwriting Secrets is over 4 hours of meaty songwriting tricks, tips and methods that you can can start using immediately. Presented completely on audio, you can put it on your iPod, mp3 player, or even burn to CD, then listen when and wherever you feel most comfortable..
Developed by professional songwriter Shamir Rele, Professional Songwriting Secrets is a fascinating “interview” series. The interviews guide listeners through examples of songs, breaking them down into the necessary ‘ingredients’ that make up powerful songs…
Learning first hand from a songwriter ‘who’s in the business’, getting paid to write songs, and revealing his own strategies is a powerful experience. Students are taken step by step, and then guided through the process of songwriting so that they can replicate an already successful formula.
One of the highlights in ‘Part 2 B’ of Professional Songwriting Secrets, is listening to Shamir and his partner bang out a brand new tune — live. Using the methods from Professional Songwriting Secrets, they put themselves on the spot, creating a song live for students to learn from first hand.
Some of the techniques outlined in the package include:
- Which section of the song to start with
- How not to stall when writing lyrics
- How to write songs without music
- Easily translate thoughts and feelings into songs
- How to connect lyrics and melody
- The best way to build a climax in your song
- Variety of formats for building successful songs
- Clever use of gaps, pauses and syncopation in your melodies & lyrics
- How to write differently for each genre (rock, country, pop,grunge, etc)
- Learn the simple chords that make up most hit songs
- The secrets to writing a “catchy” song vs a “credible” song
The package is very reasonably priced at $37, and includes three very useful bonuses, which in our opinion are worth the package price alone:
- Audio Report: Produce And Arrange Your Song And Take It To The Next Level
- Audio Report: Getting Your Songs Noticed
- Free Access To “Professional Songwriting Secrets – Session 2″ and Free Lifetime Updates.
For budding songwriters pulling their hair out, despairing of ever writing a good song, Professional Songwriting Secrets is a real godsend. The most common problems such as where to start, how to connect melody and lyrics together and what to write about can be solved simply by listening to the very enlightening audio interviews.
If you are a songwriter who is stuck, or someone just wanting to get started, Professional Songwriting Secrets is extremely good value for money. The skills and techniques learned can open up the creative floodgates and make successful songwriting seem attainable and even better……very enjoyable.
If there is a downside, the program is only available via download, and only suits users with a fast internet connection. The file is quite large (over 100MB) and therefore not suitable for dial-up connections.
