Pre Production Songwriting - Writing Songs For The Studio
As technology develops, you can often forget that production tricks are still no substitute for the human connection that occurs when a well-crafted song connects with listeners. This workshop is a crash course in understanding the mechanics of songwriting to turn your idea into an emotionally refined art form. With the core passion and artistic intent of the song realised, you can refine, contain, and deliver a demo. A dynamic writing process is a fundamental step to prepare for the recording of your masterpiece. It arms you with a clear and passionate vision for the song before you begin that final materialisation of your art.
