 Learn music theory. It helps to learn from experts. Wikipedia is a useful stop. Scores in your genre to read, sing, or practice are good, too. Music theory is the field of study that deals with how music works. It examines the language and notation of music. It seeks to identify patterns and structures found in composers’ techniques, across or within genres, styles, or historical periods. In a grand sense, music theory distills and analyzes the fundamental parameters or elements of music – rhythm, harmony (harmonic function), melody, structure, form, texture, etc. Broadly, music theory may include any statement, belief, or conception of or about music . People who study these properties are known as music theorists. Some have applied acoustics, human physiology, and psychology to the explanation of how and why music is perceived.

Stop thinking about writing a song, and start writing. Songs will not just come to you and say, “Hey, I’m a good song. Write me!”. You have to listen to your surroundings. It’s the song you’ll hear inside your head, so you start singing it. Find the missing words you need for the song inside of you. Think of a subject you want to write about. Whether it is about a break-up, or a love affair or partying, stay focused on that subject. It will make it easier! We all have up, downs, good times

American Idol is ready to kick off another season, and men and women young and old across America are getting the “bug” to better their own vocal skills.  We have a video for you below, but first, allow me to make a familiar but often overlooked point:

“Great vocal control knows no musical boundaries.”

What do I mean by that?  When you learn to sing properly; with strong voice control, appropriate power, head and chest voice mix…the whole gamut of excellent vocalizing; when you learn to do that well, you can mix and match your vocal styles, even when they are normally rather divergent in style.  For instance, my daughter Hannah, is being classically trained, but she currently has no real aspirations to become an opera singer.  Her background is musical theater and pop.  She also has an interest in contemporary Christian music as well as hymns.  She auditioned this fall for a spot on the Worship Band for a large college age Christian Christmas conference in San Diego during the Christmas break.   She earned her spot and was both excited and a bit nervous.  Why?  Well, for the last year and a half she has been learning to sing in a classical style and she wondered whether it would be difficult to switch over and not hurt her voice, grow hoarse and more.  The outcome?  She sounded fantastic, had

Do you say
“something” when
you sing and write
music?
 Say something. A song can get by with poor lyrics, and you have a better chance of writing a really good song if your lyrics are great. This does not mean they have to be serious, but they should not be cliché or ho-hum. Write your lyrics as though you are talking to somebody who you want to impress or to someone toward whom you feel some sort of deep emotion. When you sing you emote and when you write music, any and all songs should “sing as well.  Yes, make your words sing. Music is all about emotion – love, joy, anger and so much more.  Lyrics can appeal to emotions, and they should also appeal to the ear. Rhyming is the most obvious way to accomplish this, and you can employ a number of rhyme schemes. Learn about these and other tools of poetry, and try putting them to work for you.  But whatever you do, make your songs sing – then you and the whole world will sing your songs.  Strike a balance between repetition and variety. Repetition is what makes a song catchy; repeated choruses, for example, stick in our heads even when the rest of a song does not. It is easy to ask people to join you in a refrain, which is why it is usually called a chorus. It is hard to beat Ode To Joy for that bit from Beethoven, even though that bit used from his ninth symphony has no chorus, and all lines have the same length, the same rhyme schemes, and the same chord progressions throughout. That is an exception to the rule, because the most common way to add variety is to insert
