Beginner Songwriting

Beginner songwriting can feel overwhelming. Where do you start your journey? There is so much to learn… About the craft, the business, how to network, how to collaborate… I would like to make this task less daunting for you. And what you'll need is a guide to getting your first cut. From then on, every part will seem much easier.

While you are learning about becoming a songwriter, there will be times when you feel unsure about yourself, your abilities, your songs, etc. That's when it's the best (and absolutely necessary) to get song critique. There are several ways to get your songs reviewed, some online, some offline. It's one of the most helpful things you can do for your songwriting.

Are you dreaming of a songwriting career? A lot of people are… but most of them never get to the point to find out what it's really like. Just like every profession, it has its beauties and struggles. Some will tell you there is more struggle than beauty, others will disagree. It depends on how passionate you are about your art.

There are a lot of beginner songwriters who can't or wouldn't like to write music. If you are one of these, there is an option to become a song lyricist. But you must know that you can't pitch lyrics only. If your dream is to become a professional lyricist, you'll have to find some co-writers to create a complete song.

Writing songs is just one of your options if you want to work in the music business. To help you make an informed decision, I've written a page about different kinds of music industry careers you might consider.

Beginner songwriting is a craft that usually starts out easy and slow. However, there are some songwriting habits that you might want to start implementing from day one. These are little secrets stolen from the most successful songwriters. With the help of them, you can find a shortcut to songwriting success.

Happy songwriting career starting day!
