I started listening to music at a very young age. Many have told me the stories of my parents playing The Monkees album and my reaction being one of hysteria including jumping up and down on the furniture and attempting to sing along with every word. I always assumed that The Monkees wrote their own songs until I recently learned that the songwriting team of Boyce and Hart wrote the majority of them. They hired professional writers including Neil Diamond (I'm A Believer) to create their material. When I think of my favorite composers names such as Lennon and McCartney, Pete Townsend, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Ray Davies, Peter Frampton, Bruce Springsteen, and David Bowie come to mind. Without the great songs that they have written we probably would not know who these amazing musicians are and our music libraries would be a lot different. For those who choose to carry on in their footsteps, creating songs can be a huge challenge. Lyrics and melodies that people can identify with don't wake up next to us on our pillows or fall from the sky. Craftsmenship that is constantly worked on is the only way to create your own masterpieces whether anyone hears them or not, but now with the invention of songwriting software, memorable tunes are much easier to come by. A simple visit to an online music store will result in anything that is musically related at your fingertips including this software. Not only will it save what it is that you're working on so that it doesn?t disappear and force you to start from scratch, there are many other important elements that will allow you to greatly improve your compositions. Assistance with melody lines, chord progressions, rhythm patterns, and arrangement is usually presented with several options for the writer to choose from. This will allow you to be able to choose from the many possibilities of what your music can sound like. You may decide to present your songs to people in several variations then ask them to tell you which they preferred. Notation within the software that is entered by the composer often allows for playback which will let you hear the many directions that your music can take. Before using this software for my own creative purposes, I was concerned that the technical aspect of understanding how to use it would be confusing and time consuming for me. Even though I had little computer experience, I was overjoyed to discover that it was very user friendly! Now I'm telling all of my musician friend who don?t have much computer experience not to be afraid and how this can improve their repertoire! Now that songwriting software is here, my songs sound better than ever before! I'm excited about returning to the online music store to look at all of the other options in this type of software that I haven't checked out yet and I won't even have to leave my home to do it!
