Writing music can be a very rewarding and creative process, but
sometimes it can be overwhelming - especially if you're new to this, or
you've been told that you're not good at songwriting! When I was a kid,
my piano teacher told my mom that I wasn't cut out for music. For years
I listened to that false belief. Then my creativity was liberated when I
started with the Native American flute. I didn't know anything about
music, but I came up with my own way of writing music and capturing
melodies... and it worked! That framework helped me write more than 200
songs. With this book, you'll learn how to capture those short melodies
so that you can repeat what you just played, arrange your song so that
you aren't mindlessly noodling, and connect your story so you have the
confidence to share your music This is the secret sauce, and in this
e-book, I'll show you the shortcuts to these exact tactics! Creative
endeavors require good tools. That's why I've built a toolkit for you.
You'll find capturing tactics, arrangement strategies, blank NAF TAB
sheets, phrasing prompts and a story sheet as part of this book to help
you maximize your songwriting experience. Note: This book does not
address how to write the notes on that staff. Instead, we are focusing
solely on finger diagrams for now. If you already read Nakai TAB you are
welcome to use that feature. I will be creating a course for learning
the Nakai TAB system in the future!
