Songwriting is a skill that can be learned by anyone. In my 25 years of teaching, 100% of my students who wanted to write songs, did learn to write songs. Most of them were complete beginners who had never even written part of a song. They simply studied the information in this book, did the recommended exercises, and within months were writing songs. If you have no idea how to write songs right now, don't worry. It's easier than you think. You don't need to read music or play an instrument. All you need to get started is the ability to hum a melody. You will also need a phone or tablet with a recording app. Many hit songs are written with nothing more than a recording app on cell phone. Pretty simple! The good news is you don't need to read and write music in order to be a great songwriter. Check out these songwriters who never learned to read music: Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, Eric Clapton, the Beatles, Eddie Van Halen, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Stevie Wonder, and Lionel Richie. They didn't learn to read music because it was never necessary. It's not necessary for you either. I started off just like you. I had a desire to write songs but had never written one. My first few songs were pretty raw, and I would be embarrassed to have you hear them now. But over the years, I developed my writing to the point of getting my songs and jingles on TV, radio, Spotify, iTunes, and most of the major streaming services. I even had one of my songs placed in a movie. I was not gifted with extraordinary talents. I just studied with some of the industry's top professional songwriters and kept writing. The more I wrote, the better my songs became. If I can do that, so can you. Here's another way to look at it. If you were stuck on a deserted island, and the only way you could get off was to read this book and write three good songs, I guarantee that you would write three good songs. It's just a matter of learning the craft, and putting in the time. Nothing magical. If you're just starting out as a songwriter, your first few songs will be rough. That's normal! It doesn't mean you're a bad songwriter. It just means you're a beginning songwriter. If you stick with it, you'll get better. Start writing and keep writing.Even if your complete beginner you will learn how to:1. Write great lyrics2. Create awesome melodies for your lyrics3. Record your first demo4. Get your songs heard by industry pros5. Copyright your songs John Ford is the founder of the John Ford School of Voice.
