'THANK YOU !!

I am touched by your class.

Before I wrote for myself and I had trouble connecting to people. From now on, I understand that we must make them feel our text!.

Ange

'Exactly what I needed to make progress in songwriting. Thanks!'

Halvdan Presthus

'Eve stretched me in uncomfortable places that I probably wouldn't explore on my own. She is easy to follow and answers questions quickly.

Thanks Eve!'

Dorene

'I've been writing for a while with no prior training. I always feel like I'm missing a part of the puzzle. This course has enlightened me and i want to go further.'

Ellen

'Excellent course. Very useful insights and tips from Eve and excellent content and demonstration of the practical use of our learnings.'

Himanshu

As an A&R rep at a music licensing company, I listened to many songs every week. Of those that are nearly there but not quite, it's the lyrics that often pose a problem: lyrics without a story, or too much cliché or no consistent theme. It's a myth that pop lyrics are meaningless. Pro songwriters spend alot of time on lyrics.

In those course you will learn how to craft lyrics like a professional songwriter and what errors to avoid. Specifically, we will look at

Wireframing: constructing a story progression to your lyrics
'Show, Don't Tell': the use of imagery
Metaphor
Intertextual Writing: taking inspiration from other works of art without ripping them off
Using the right language for your song's audience
Songforms and understanding the importance of structure
Cowriting

The course begins by looking at some very effective lyrics, then asks you to craft your own. There are video and text exercises to complete and you will have a chance to get my feedback on your lyrics or to post them for group feedback which may just help you find cowriters!

Whether you are aiming for a publishing deal or just starting out in songwriting, this course is for you. For new lyric writers it will set you up with sound principles, and for experienced songwriters it will help break lyrical bad habits. It is open to writers in all musical genres.

Here is an example of the press I've got for my own lyric writing:

'Eve has established herself as an artist of considerable sophistication, recognised for her powerful toplines and moving lyrics.'

-The Musician Magazine

I also hold a Master of Music in Songwriting as well as having written with well established writers (see my bio), so you can trust that the methods I teach are industry recognised.
