Songwriting courses can help you learn lyric writing, melody composition, song structure, and chord progressions. You can build skills in crafting hooks, developing themes, and collaborating with other musicians. Many courses introduce tools like digital audio workstations (DAWs) for recording and editing, as well as software for notation and arrangement. You'll also explore techniques for storytelling through music and the business aspects of songwriting, including copyright and publishing.
