THE TREASURE CHEST
It’s worth watching this entire video series once one video after another. Think about this as simply entertainment initially, in the same way you would consume a Netflix show. Once you have watched all the videos come back to video one and watch it through the frame of the week ahead.
Each of the steps is designed to be lived with for 1 week. Once you have integrated each of these weeks you will have a very deep understanding of Songwriting. Take the time on each step. You may be tempted to rush ahead but you will get the most value out of the 6 steps if you spend the week in each Step.
Watch the videos as much as you like through the week but remember this is a practical course. Your application of the principles is what will make you a songwriter. Once you have internalised the key action points you will be better served taking action rather than consuming more content.
Follow the principles in as committed a way as you are able. I would recommend planning your time to ensure you carve out space for all the practices you are going to be engaged in.
