How To Write Songs - Creating The Perfect Pre-Chorus with Lyrical Structures

Описание: The key to creating a perfect pre-chorus is to build TENSION and then release that tension to create big, beautiful and impactful CHORUSES!

In this video, Part 3 of our 3-part series on Pre-Choruses, we examine a powerful lyrical technique for building and releasing tension, focusing on the 'ABA' structure and unbalanced rhyme schemes - featuring music by John Mayer and Foy Vance.

ABOUT KEPPIE

I'm Keppie. I'm a professional songwriter, and songwriting teacher. I've been teaching song and lyric writing for over 10 years now for some of the best contemporary music colleges in the world—Berklee Online, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music's Open Academy, as well as for the Australian College of the Arts. At other times, I've taught for the Australian Institute of Music, as well as the LA School of Songwriting.

My goal is to help people write better songs! My experience in the classroom, with thousands of students at this point (many going on to find careers and success in music), is that your songwriting, like all things, can get better with meaningful, deliberate practice. My intention is to share the skills, knowledge, information, and ideas that I've gathered with anyone who wants to improve their songwriting.
