Songwriting Help??

by Charl
(Wales, UK)

Hey, i need help, me and my friends, Danielle, Sarah and Vicii have started our own group and we're finding it a tough job writing songs, Sarah is really good at it, but i would like to participate in the whole songwriting process. I dont really have alot of experiances because im only 14years old, and i find it hard. Im inspired but artists such as, Miley Cyrus, McFly and the Jonas brothers. I think they are really talented songwriters but i dont understand, does it come naturally to them or do they have the same problem? I usually take some words from songs ive listened to but, its like conpyright isnt it? so i dont now what to do. Please Give me some avice.


Thanks,
Charl xxxx

Songwriting advice
by: Stacey

Songwriting is a form of creative writing! The successful songwriters I know keep writing journals and write all the time, and find lyrics in their writing. Writing is a muscle you have to exercise. Just how you'd train to run a marathon by running daily, you need to practice writing a lot! Pay attention in your writing courses at school, especially poetry because many lyrics rhyme. www.rhymezone.com can help you find rhyming words for tricky lines.

There are also specific formats to a song (verse, chorus, verse, chorus is one example). A book on songwriting may help. Maybe you can check local music schools to see if they offer classes? I learned a lot from my instructor at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago. Good luck!
