Lyric Writing: Writing From the Title
Lyric Writing: Writing From the Title will teach you how the professionals approach the construction of songs: by writing from a central idea (the title). Starting with a powerful and effective song title, you’ll learn to build complete lyrics from that title, explore how to set the title to the appropriate rhythm and tempo, and to place that title in the song’s different sections to create the most powerful impact. Through this approach, you will learn different ways to brainstorm ideas, work with a variety of lyric writing elements, and develop effective tools to create an emotional connection with your listeners.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Find and develop a title
- Understand what a title is and its function in the song
- Identify rhythm, pitch and tempo of a title
- Recognize and use different rhyming types
- Develop verses and understand the functions of various song sections
