Songwriting 101

Write your awesome label here.
Course overview
Ever want to write a song but need help getting started or making it better? This course will teach you about a key technique in songwriting: prosody, or the way lyrics, melody, chords, and structure work together to support your song’s meaning. You'll learn the distinct roles of the chorus, verse, and bridge in a song, and how each contributes to the song’s emotional impact. You'll then explore how to develop a chorus that aligns with your personal style and creative voice and analyze your favorite songs to see how they work.
