Songwriting Lessons in North Miami Beach. Amazing Teachers.

Take your creativity to the next level and learn how to craft songs. Everyone has their own unique way of putting songs together but there are some tools and tricks to make the process easier and to take compositions to the next level. I've been writing songs now for over 10 years and I'd like to help you do the same.

During the past 10 years, I have started coaching interested persons in writing songs the way I do: I start with a melody line that pops into my head by the way I fuel myself in expectancy for new tunes and moods to express. My method uses my guitar, so if you play guitar, but feel stuck and not able to write songs, I should be able to help. I use chordal arrangements to bring forth a tune; then, if it feels like there must be lyrics, I write what words are somehow connected to the musical mood I have created. Within a couple of lessons, according to your desire, you should be able to craft an interesting song. I can also help you come up with a mood and melody line to poems/lyrics that as yet have no music.

Extensive experience here both as a teacher and published composer.

Learn why chord progressions and melodies work the way they do, with explorations across various musical genres.

Available in individual lessons as well as in group workshops.

Learn to write a song following basic rules of songwriting and chord progressions. Included in lessons is how to copyright and publish your songs.

Emphasis on basic music theory knowledge and heavy emphasis on transcribing and learning songs.

The absolute best way to become a competent songwriter is by listening to and learning other artist's music. By listening, you discover what elements you want in your own music and by learning (with a basic understanding of music theory), you discover how to put those elements into your own music.

Some topics I like to go over in a given songwriting lesson are as follows:

-Chord progressions and use of "color" chords
-Note choice and how to decide what note to sing/play
-Dynamics (basically intensity of the sections)
-Instrumentation (what instruments are playing what)
-Melodic phrasing (how you string notes together to make your musical "sentence")
