Some Very Valuble Information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book might try to cover a lot of information for a single volume. Never the less, there is some extremely valuable information that might not be discussed in other books, and I am happy I found this book and read it. I found specially interesting chapters: 7 Psychology, and 8. Mythology and Tradition (This is an example of how diverse the subjects are). Ch. 2 On the Elements of Composition was simple and very helpful also. Therefore, I recommend this book as one in which you will get extra and important information for your songwriting techniques and inspiration.
Interesting and Informative
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"Songwriting and the Creative Process" has plenty of info on the nuts and bolts of writing commercially acceptable music. Song structure, rhyme and meter, and a good section on hearing musical intervals are included. There are headings under "Courting the Muse" I find interesting and informative, and problems such as "writer's block" are addressed. One thing that I liked was the overall layout of the book which is neatly broken into easily digestable bits. I may be a little overenthusiastic, but I'll give it five stars.
