Robert Russo, Guitar Songwriting Help and Instruction, Guitar Lessons for Beginners and General Music Lessons

Whether my students are professional, semi-professional, amateur, or first time songwriters, I get them well on their way to songwriting or help them improve upon their current songwriting skills.  My students learn theoretical and practical approaches to songwriting and song arrangement.

All my students learn and apply the following theoretical concepts in writing their own songs:

* How to write impactful lyrics using a poetic and/or storytelling processes.

* How to build a song based upon a title, a concept, an experience, about yourself or someone else, a saying, a lesson you have learned or want to share. Or something you want to convey about place or subject, or a combination of all the above to create their song. 

* The art, and concepts, behind why we rhyme (or not) in lyrics. 

* Forming the lyrical arrangement into song parts i.e. verse, chorus and bridge.

* Writing a music arrangement that conforms to the message of the song and enhances the overall experience for the listener.

* The necessary art of editing.

* Licensing your work.

* Selling your songs to the entertainment industry.
