49 | Songwriting as a Creative Outlet Pt. 2: What You Need When You're Getting Started

In the second part of our conversation about exploring songwriting as a creative outlet, I go deeper into what you need when you're getting started with writing your own songs.     Whether you’re a writer whose strength is in the lyrics, a singer who doesn’t play an instrument (or lacks confidence in your existing instrumental skills), a musician who plays by ear and wants to find your unique voice, or you can relate to bits and pieces of all of these, I’ll break down the essentials for you so that you can just get moving.   I’ll give you an overview of what you need in terms of musical skills, song structure, where to begin, and how to bring your own artistic voice and style into it ~ so you can move beyond singing other people’s songs and into the creative world of writing your own music.   <3 Lainey   Related Episodes:   48 | Songwriting as a Creative Outlet Pt. 1: My Journey from Singing Other People's Music to Writing My Own Songs   P.S.
