How to Write a Song – From Start to Finish is a hands-on and inspiring course designed for anyone who wants to learn how to write a complete, original song — even if you're just starting out.
We begin with the smallest building block in music: the motif. You’ll learn how a short, simple musical idea — maybe just three notes or a short rhythm — can become the heart of your song. From there, we take it step by step, exploring how to build on that motif with melody, rhythm, harmony, and lyrics.
You’ll see how emotional expression, musical structure, and storytelling come together — and how even small changes in rhythm, pitch, or phrasing can shape the meaning and feeling of a line. You’ll also learn how to choose chords that support your melody, how to write lyrics that feel natural and honest, and how to create an arrangement that gives your song depth and direction.
This course includes real musical examples, simple tools, and clear explanations. You don’t need advanced music theory knowledge — just an interest in music, a willingness to experiment, and a bit of creative curiosity.
By the end of the course, you won’t just have written a full song — you’ll understand how songs work, and you’ll have the skills and confidence to create more on your own.
