Steps to Writing Songs!
"Sing to him a new song, play skilfully,
and shout for joy." (Psa 33:3 NIV)
Writing a song is
about making lots of choices.
It's like writing a
story, or painting a picture:
Start by choosing a
subject, an idea, or a topic.
Set some limits,
like a picture frame. e.g. the Key, the Scale, number of bars.
Choose the mood,
style, speed, meter.
Decide on one or two
Melodic ideas.
Choose a few
Rhythmic Patterns.
Develop the Chord
Progression.
Create Melodic
Phrases.
