Wie schreibe ich einen Song?

First you need an idea. Maybe you have a melody in your head or a text.

You’ll think about what it’s going on in that song.

Now you can determine how many verses there should be, refrain, interplay, etc. (This can change even later)

Then, of course, you need to know what instruments, singer voices should occur.

Then you write texts and a matching melody. I always do this at the same time, but others too.

Now you need a companion. Consider these matching the melody.

If you have the basic structure, play the piece of your family or friends. Let them give you feedback and any suggestions for improvement.

Now you rework the piece again. Maybe some other text, other melody/accompanied, etc.

And finished 🙂
