subject: Four Keys On How To Song Write
[print this page] Discovering how to tune write is a combo of rehearsal and utilizing methods which accelerate and simplify the process and breed inspiration. You are in charge of the repetition, so allow me to offer you 4 tips and tricks on how to tune write now.
First, try starting off with just a title. A title will establish much of what that song is going to be before you ever have written a single lyric or note outside of the song title. This is not how you need to begin every single tune and it's not how I always do it, but it is a dependable way to start a song if you're stuck and no ideas are coming to you. Pick and choose an interesting song title and start working to assign notes to the different words or even to the specific syllables of the words will help you in establishing that first hook/melody for your chorus or wherever you want to use it.
Next, it seriously helps possessing experience with a musical instrument, especially one that can play chords like the piano or the guitar. You can use this to expand on your hooks and to find the greatest chord progression to go with that hook as you sing it aloud. On top of this, it significantly helps to own a familiarity of chords and the most universal chord progressions so that you can rotate through them until you stumble on a progression which you like best.
Next, bear in mind that you can make use of your chords to build out the next bit of your song. If you know that you have not made use of the 2 or the 3 yet in your tune by the time which you have reached your bridge, the 2 can be a great place to surprise the listener's ear off guard and they will experience that musical change as being very refreshing.
Lastly, and this is one of the greatest tricks on how to tune write, but the reality is that most any musical hook has the ability of being the biggest and most memorable hook you've ever heard before. Part of this is dependent on the hook itself, but arguably a larger part of this is dependent upon the foundation which revolves around that hook. This includes the chords and instrumentation which revolves around that hook that has the capability of bolstering or weakening the effect of that hook.
If you do not believe this, think about your favorite songs but with a new chord progressions. 90% of the time it wouldn't sound nearly as effective and would hinder the hook. You want to do anything and everything that you can to build your hook so that it has the biggest impact with your listener.
