Jim Bruno's Songwriting Class

This Week’s Optional Exercise

Here’s another exercise you can try.  It’s called Song Scaffolding:

 Take one of your favorite songs and write all new words for it.  Try to write about a different subject.

 Now take your words and write a new melody. Try changing the meter or the time signature or the feel, whatever.

You now have a new song!
