Barbara's Top Songwriting Tips
Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone – Learning to become comfortable with stepping out of the box in your songwriting efforts can be daunting at first, but it can unlock a limitless potential for creativity. Challenging yourself to experiment with different rhythms, rhymes and chord progressions can lead to previously undiscovered styles and melodies. It is important to push yourself past what is comfortable in order to reach new artistic heights.
Keep The Big Picture In Mind – Songwriting is often a roller coaster of highs and lows. Some days the creative juices are overflowing and other days you can feel like a frustrated beginner. It’s the ability to look at the big picture that allows the songwriter to ride the highs and lows while having faith that, in the end, the world is a better place because of music and art.
Appreciate The Differences – It’s important to remember that people are unique and have their own perspectives. When songwriting, rather than disregarding an idea because it’s different from your own, take the time to appreciate its differences. Examine the situation through different lenses to evoke emotion in the music you create. This depth is what gives your music immense value. Showing how you feel through your words and actions, instead of trying to dictate how someone else should think or act, is what sets truly incredible music apart.
