How To Write a Song

How To Write a Song - Actually, I cant differentiate writing a song from making music and lyrics. Song writing sometimes do not need instruments or accompaniment. Folk songs like "Bahay kubo", "Leron-Leron Sinta" and "Give Peace a chance" by John Lennon which do not have any chords to it.

How To Write a Song Lyrics

How to write song lyrics - In writing a song lyrics, there are no definite rules or procedures to follow. According to Jim Paredes of APO Hiking Society, sometimes, in song writing, the lyrics come before the melody and sometimes, vice-versa. Although, there are a few songs that were written when both the music and the lyrics come in simultaneously. Practically, most musicians, especially the pianists and some solo guitarists, write first the music before putting in the lyrics.

How To Make Music

How to make music is a work of art, with an abstract expression. The musician's aura, essence and color can be expressed into the music, while the pattern comes in regular rhythm and beat.
