"Songwriting for Geniuses" is a short but I hope useful book of 25 tips to help you, or someone you know, write better more satisfying songs. It's not about how to write commercial hits or the ins and outs of music theory. It's about trusting your inner "genius" to help you write songs that release a charge for you, and that express your thoughts and ideas in a satisfying way. Whether other people like your songs is up to them! You should be able to order the book at your local bookstore or you can purchase it on line. Below you will find links to purchase the book through Amazon or IUniverse. You'll also find a link to get a free look at the Introduction as well as the first of the 25 songwriting tips included in the book. |
