    Hello!

    Do you think you guys can give songwriting tutorials please?

    Hi, Demi!

    Yes, we plan to! Do you play an instrument, or have a songwriting partner who does?

    Yes I do! I play guitar, ukulele and a tiny bit of keyboard!

    Perfect! It's so helpful to play an instrument when you're writing. And keyboard is especially useful for building chords around your melody!

    I really look forward to shooting a tutorial on songwriting once we're back in the studio. Do you have some specific questions and concerns I can include when designing those lessons?

    Maybe these questions: 

    How do I get the inspiration to write a song or melody?

    How do I phrase my lyrics to make it sound nice?

    How do I make lyrics that can emotionally move the audience?

    Thank you for those questions, Demi! I'll include those within my plan!

    Camille, 

     

    Can you share the resources for writing chord progressions and organizing songs?  I have written some things and i am learning to put them to music.  I am a brand new guitar player, so i cant exactly accompany mysel just yet.
