In a song composition class, we’ll break down what goes into making a song, teaching you the basic elements of song structure and helping you to feel more confident in composing your own.
What is song composition and why should I learn it?
Songs are made up of a variety of components sometimes mixed together and sometimes used independently, things such as lyrics, melody, rhythm and dynamics all work together to create the music we hear. Sometimes these elements can all seem overwhelming, especially when approached incorrectly, which is where a song composition lessons or a song composition course can come in.
