Press Release Body: Are you a beginning songwriter who strives towards writing songs
that become hits? Do you need to know how you can improve your songwriting skill?
It\'s not too complicated. Don\'t try to re-invent the wheel. As far as I\'m concerned
the best way to improve your songwriting is to study what hit songwriters do. Forget
about the mediocre stuff and learn from the leaders in the songwriting and music
industry. Study what works.
As a songwriter who has written quite a few number one songs in my country, one
thing that has helped me and continues to help me is the radio. I listen to the
radio all the time so I know what type of song is happening. I know what people
like, what they want to hear, and what is current. This gives me a good idea of what
kind of song I should write to target a particular market.
When you listen to the radio, take notes on what hit songs have in common. Study the
structure of these songs. What tempo seems to work? Are the chord progressions
complicated or are the songs based mainly on riffs? What kind of chords is used?
That way you can write songs that appeal to today\'s audience. No matter how good
your song is, if it sounds like something that would be better suited to ten or
twenty years ago, you can forget it.
It is a shame how some songwriters treat the songwriting craft. I\'m sorry, but if
you do not spend time at developing your craft you are bound to fail. I don\'t care
if it\'s baseball or dancing, those people who come out and top are the very same
ones who practice everyday. Those who spend years at perfecting their craft. So
learn form those who were there before you. Study and write songs everyday. Lay hold
of songwriting books, get songwriting software, do anything to take you to the next
level.
To improve, a songwriter needs to become more knowledgeable everyday. The more
things you know about, and the more you can relate to different aspects of everyday
life, the better for you. I never heard of a novelist who didn\'t read constantly.
The same applies to songwriting and great songwriters. You must put in a lot of work
if you want to excel.
Nothing comes easy in life. Work, work, and work some more. Pattern your writing
after what has been proven to work, but never copy. Do it everyday and reap the
rewards.
