Songwriting: Lyric Writing

Yes, absolutely. By the end of it, you’ll have a significantly deeper understanding of lyrics and lyric writing, and will have developed the skills to tell powerful and emotive stories in song format.

While there will be mentions of melody writing, this course is mainly focused on creative writing and will see you hone your skills using rhyme schemes, literary devices, language techniques and writing strategies.

Yes you will – many times, in fact! The best way to become a great songwriter is to write as much as possible from as many different viewpoints. Across this course, you’ll cover a range of different lyric writing strategies, such as free writing and storyboarding. By diversifying your skills, you’ll learn how to write songs from assorted starting points, while always prioritising the importance of great lyrics and a compelling narrative.

Lyric Writing complements our Songwriting: The Basics, Songwriting: The Creative Process and Songwriting: Content & Genre courses perfectly. We recommend purchasing it as a songwriting bundle offer alongside these courses to gain a well-rounded understanding of the art and craft of songwriting.
