Great Songwriting Resources Are Yours For the Taking

If you’re looking for free songwriting resources you don’t have to look much further than your favorite search engine search box! The Internet is chock full of juicy, free songwriting tips because songwriting webmasters have painstakingly put together many excellent websites for beginner to advanced songwriters.

If you’re a beginning songwriter and you’re not sure where to start, there’s a ton of useful information on the web if you type the keyword “beginner songwriting” into a search box. For example, if you’re an intermediate or advanced songwriter, if you enter “songwriting tips” you’ll instantly have access to many quality, free songwriting resources!

The majority of songwriting websites on the internet have useful, instructional material, and you can assemble your own personal “how to write songs manual,” and learn quite a bit during the process as you weed through the many articles.

To assemble your very own songwriting guide all you need is a large binder, some page dividers, and a hole puncher. Then start researching the web on your own using the following topics as your starting guide:

1. Song Verse Development (what is a song verse, how to develop a verse, etc.)

2. Pre-chorus Tips (what is a pre-chorus, how to develop a pre-chorus, etc.)

3. Chorus Development (what is a chorus, how to develop a strong hook, etc.)

4. Second Verse tips (ideas for starting a 2nd verse, etc.)

5. How to Write a Bridge (what is a bridge, how to write a bridge, etc.)

6. Song Forms (how to choose, etc.)

7. Song Title (how to create, etc.)

8. Rhyming Tips and Techniques (how to rhyme effectively, etc.)

9. How to Create a Melody (what constitutes a great melody, etc.)

This is just the tip of the iceberg and definitely enough to get you started, but you get the idea!

You can either print out web pages for your personal songwriting resources or assemble them using Microsoft Word or a similar program. Personally, when I was learning songwriting years ago I preferred using a thick binder with dividers separating the many songwriting topics I was learning about. The trick is stay organized with your songwriting tips entries from the various free songwriting websites on the net by cataloging them efficiently and accurately.

So, for this songwriting resource, the only thing you need to have is a decent hole-puncher and a binder to make yourself the ultimate songwriting guide! By completing this project a few years ago, I was able to improve my songwriting technique drastically, and I built myself a strong, solid basic songwriting foundation from which to build on.
