Students interested in learning songwriting can explore many different styles and approaches. I have been writing songs for more than 8 years and have recorded 6 full length albums of original material in a variety of genres including rock, blues, country, reggae, bluegrass, Americana, and folk. My students can expect thorough instruction and study based on classic and modern songwriting techniques in the genres of interest. We will study "music first" songwriting, "words first" songwriting, and improvisational techniques, as well as "cut and paste multi-tracking". Poetry, prose, nonsensical, call and response, storytelling, and traditional are all avenues of exploration.

Online Songwriting Teacher
Hi! I am Alicia and I have been a songwriter for over 20 years. I have a bachelor degree in Music Ministry with training in Worship Leadership and Songwriting. I’ve written over 500 songs through the years and find it to be my passion to teach others to write as well. My goals as your songwriting couch are to help you find your style by narrowing down your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to writing. Some students may be stronger in lyrical writing and some stronger in the melody and rhythm. We start with your strengths and desires on what you’d like to grow in and go from there. I believe anyone is able to write songs. And everyone can sing and has a voice that can influence at least one person but perhaps more! But it all starts in the beginning stages of growth behind the scenes, tackling the cohesion of strong lyrics, new and exciting melody hooks, unique rhythms and influential in the day we live in today! So whatever your goals are and whatever you are seeking help with, I

Awarded Music Department Award 2003 from Salisbury University

Online Songwriting Teacher
David enjoys teaching students from all different backgrounds and levels of proficiency. Whether you are just starting out or a virtuoso shredder in the making, he is happy to teach you! Over all, he is fairly laid back, as long as you practice. He usually combines work with reading off of the treble clef (what he likens to "eating your vegetables." You may not want to do it, but it will make you a healthier musician!) with learning more popular songs (or songs the student says they would like to learn) through tablature and chord charts, depending on the style of the song.
David is also very pro music theory. He usually incorporates music theory into the curriculum in conjunction with the material already being discussed. He is also very knowledgeable about composition/songwriting, and if the student is interested in learning more about this area, he is happy to share what he knows!
About David
David is a successful singer/songwriter/guitarist out of Fairfax, VA. He has a bachelor's degree in Music with a concentration in composition from Salisbury University, where he also studied jazz and classical guitar . In the 25 years he has been performing (20 of those professionally) and playin

Popular Songwriting Articles from our Blog
One of the most wonderful and rewarding things about the art of songwriting is that there are many different ways to approach making your own music. Arlington,TX music teacher Ric F. previously shared with us his tips on using rhythm as a guide to writing. Today, Ric would like to add another aspect to your understanding of writing songs, something he calls the "long-line" concept. Unlike visual art where you can see it all at once, music takes “time” to reveal itself. Today I would like …
