Become A Student Of Music

Instructor: Andy Park

If you want to improve as a songwriter, listen to a lot of music to figure out why hit songs are so well loved. For example, study these things:
- Melodic hooks
- Lyrical hooks
- Instrumental turnarounds
- How to transition out of a hook into the rest of the song
While there are no pat techniques or formulas for writing a great song, you can learn a lot from hit songs of the past.
