6 Steps to Songwriting Sucess

6 Steps to Songwriting Success : By Jason Blume

After reading this book I started to think about my songs and my writing in a different way. I found it helped me find my voice and my style a little better. Al thought I am still working on that I have found it easier to get my ideas out and on the go. I hope in the long run it will continue to help me develop and push myself to the next level and then on to the next after that.

The writer, Jason Blume, covers the basics you need to know about song writing. He covers things like song form, point of view, melody, and a whole host of other skills and tools you will need to become a better song writer. He makes the book very easy to read and follow, as well as giving you tips for the things you will need and the things to think about with your writing.

The great thing about this book is it covers not only the songwriting and artistic aspect of things, but also goes into the business side of it as well. He goes over things like pitching your songs for sale, contracts, staff writing jobs, royalties and everything else in between that you should have some idea about.

There is also a fantastic list of resources in the book as well. They cover things like workshops, copy write contacts, writers groups, different organizations they come up along the way, and many many more.

The great thing about this is Jason Blume has many years experience and many song that have done very well over time. He has been a staff writer, an up and comer, and everything in between. He has songs placed and recorded with artists like, Brittany Spears, The Backstreet Boys, The oak Ridge Boys and many many others. The List of his work reads a bit like a who's who in music.

I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone who would love to have a hit song on the charts.
