More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book gives both aspiring and seasoned songwriters a powerful new approach to writing songs, focusing on common obstacles in the songwriting process and techniques to help songwriters overcome them. Each chapter goes to the root of a specific songwriting problem and provides exercises to help readers over the hurdles and put their new skills to work. Topics include writing approach, purpose, structure, melodic significance and construction, basic music theory, word meaning, word design and arrangement, chords, and how they are all pieced together. Along the way, a song is created to act as a case study and a demonstration of what each exercise can result in. The lessons are fun, informal, and include fresh suggestions and exercises born out of the author's experience in teaching songwriting at the college level. The book's companion website provides audio clips to accompany the relevant exercises and examples presented in the book.

This review is from: Righting Wrongs in Writing Songs (Paperback)
This book is perfect for anyone interested in lyric writing, musical arrangement, rhythm, melody and music theory... whether you are an academic or 'just interested' it's a fantastic read and incredibly accessible.
Danny Cope has masterfully unravelled many of the pitfalls that lead to hours of frustration for the aspiring lyricist. Danny covers the practicalities of song writing and structure required to grow a lyric, and also gives valuable insight and advice from his extensive professional experience. Righting Wrongs In Writing Songs will help you understand songwriting, improve your process of writing, help you overcome whatever 'obstacle' you have experienced, and give you more confidence in your ability to turn 'head and heart stuff' into verse and melody.

Great Breadth,
By Tom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Righting Wrongs in Writing Songs (Paperback)
This is an amazing book. I've looked at many songwriting books, and Cope's is near the top for most complete. Cope covers the major aspects of songwriting (structure, melody, lyrics, chords - in that order). The first two introductory chapters are also very good for pinpointing your reasons/goals for songwriting. I also recommend Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting by Robin Frederick, a great book as well. If you are looking for a very fast way to start writing songs then buy that one. The 126 tips are easy to use right away. Righting Wrongs has better organization though and is a little more in depth. I suggest getting both.
