2017 Songwriter's Market Guide - PREVIEW

Описание: In this unique presentation, best-selling songwriter and author Pat Pattison works with a student to improve her song. In Pat Pattison Masterclass: Rhythm and Form, you’ll begin to understand—through a hands-on experience with Rebecca Perkins and her song, “Wrong Things”—the small tweaks you can make to a song in order to change the listener’s experience. Not only will this improve your song for the listener, it will help you learn how each word choice, and the actual form of the song, makes a difference in songwriting. In this video, you’ll learn about topics like:
• Using repetition to create a “weight” to specific lines
• Developing a personal story into a theme
• How to decide what a song will truly be about
• The importance of stressing the correct notes
• Taking advantage of phrasing and form to create a unique listening experience
