Jen and Scott Smith of Naked Blue will take aspiring songwriters on a journey through what it takes to create consistent, quality songs in this four part series July 9, 23, August 6, 20. Most of us assume that all it takes to write a great song is a few chords, a melody, and emotional inspiration. Every once in a while a song is written that way. But for those who would like to build a body of work, a song catalog or a career in songwriting, knowing the craft is critical to cranking out consistently good songs and will allow you to finish your songs faster and identify precisely what needs improvement.
July 23 | SESSION 2: Deconstructing a Hit
We’ll reveal the architecture of a hit song. Once we understand precisely why a song is appealing (to the masses, anyway) we can use those same elements to add appeal to our own songs. This class supports material covered in “Checklist to a Better Song.”
