5 Inspired Tips to Spice Up Your Songwriting:

1. Get Started. Brainstorm keywords on any topic for 5 mins. Choose 10 words then spend 5 mins rhyming them. Use this page of words to kick-start your lyrics.

2. Stuck on a lyric? Create 10 alternatives really fast. The key here is getting unstuck.

3. Complicated melody? Simply use your voice. No accompanying instrument. When your melody is created, then put chords to it.

4. Strong on harmony and chord progressions? Restrict yourself to 3 chords and strengthen other elements of your songwriting.

5. Repetitive structure? Start with a chorus.

“ I Heart Songwriting club connected me to songwriters all over the country. It can be so isolating being a solo artist and I Heart Songwriting Club gave me a platform to share ideas and songwriting strategies and the inspiration to write so many more songs! One of these songs, Subtle Surrender, I ended up recording and releasing, and has been played on national radio. It got me out of my creative comfort zone in a very positive, low pressure sort-of-way! I highly recommend it! ”
