“What is required of me to write a good song if I have no experience with songwriting?” If you have an aptitude for songwriting, but no experience, writing your first song may seem a bit intimidating.
Where do you start? To write a good song, you need skill. You acquire skill by gaining experience. How do you gain experience? You start by seeking out help.
Collaboration:
One of the best ways of gaining experience will be to collaborate with someone with writing experience. Not only will it be fun to write songs with some else, but you can gain valuable writing experience with a mentor.
Songwriting Groups:
You can gain experience by joining a songwriting group. I decided to do just that back in the late ‘90s when I joined the Boston Songwriters Workshop.
I met and worked with many songwriters, got feedback, and learned in songwriting workshops. It was a great experience.
To find a group, try typing into Google “songwriting groups near me” and see what pops up.
If you don’t find any local groups near you, you can get feedback through online groups:
