Free Songwriting Tips

These free songwriting tips might seem small to you but they are powerful. Little changes in your writing habits can make a huge difference in your results.

First of all, it's very important what kind of tools you use. Songwriting tools can rage from a pen and a sheet of paper to the most sophisticated software and filing system money can buy.

Think about your working style.

• Are you the kind of person who likes everything in order to start working productively?
• Are you the type who needs clutter to get creative?
• Do you like working in your home?
• Do you sometimes start scribbling down or recording ideas in the middle of the day?
• Have you written so many songs that it's difficult for you to remember them?
• Do you prefer old-school or modern equipment?

These are some of the questions you'll need to answer. This way it's easier to find out what tools you'll need to make your songwriting process as smooth as possible.

There are plenty of ways to improve your songwriting. Some of the ideas to improve your songs aren't for you. Since we have different personalities, obviously, not all of the tips for songwriting are useful for you. Choose the ones that you feel the closest to you. You could, for example, start one of them today, and a second one next month.

Think about it, if you stay with this schedule, you improve your craft 12 different ways in a year. That's something less than 1% of songwriters do.
And once your song is finally finished and you're sure it's a potential hit, you should make a songwriting demo. These days it's simpler and cheaper to do than ever. Not cheap but cheaper :)

You may feel overwhelmed at first. It's sometimes difficult to decide how to start implementing these free songwriting tips. I suggest starting with reading a book or two about songwriting. Books are easy to get, easy to read, easy to enjoy. Have fun!
