Songwriting For Dummies - 2nd Edition (For Dummies (Music))

Don’t be put off by the title series, ‘for Dummies’. The book is written in a lively, thought provoking style that gives very clear priorities from ‘this bit is really important’ to ‘well just be aware of this’. I’m certainly learning a lot and took the book on holiday with me.

noch nie habe ich ein Buch aus der “for Dummies” Reihe gelesen was so komplett ungeeignet für Anfänger ist ! Nicht ein pragmatischer Tipp wie ein Dummy ganz konkret Schritt-für-Schritt vorgehen kann. Ich habe das Buch nach 30 Seiten beiseite

This is a good book if you want to copyright and publish your songs, but the actual sections on the techniques of songwriting are not that helpful. Best to buy Music Composition for Dummies or both. If you have never written "real" poetry, also, suggest Writing Better Lyrics by Pat Pattison

Great at teaching people how to write a song for those who want to be songwriters 😃

Had to order hard copy
