SONGWRITING

Songwriting can be an excellent way of enabling students to express themselves about topics that are important to them, and in musical styles and genres with which they are familiar. The Musical Futures International resources suggest some processes, techniques and ideas for encouraging students to write their own songs, without suggesting actual musical or lyrical content – which should come from the students themselves.

All songwriters, whether individuals or groups, write best in their own way, in the order which suits them and their songs, and very often dealing with more than one aspect of the writing at a time – for example, coming up with words and music together. Furthermore, they may well write different songs in different ways. So there is no one way to teach songwriting.

Consequently, there is no set way to approach the resources. Rather we have suggested a skeleton structure for how you might incorporate this guidance into a six-week project.  With this comes a series of additional resources and materials including audio tracks and multimedia content along with student and teacher guides.  The resource can also be used in  much less formal way, to support students working on composing/ songwriting using informal learning approaches.
