Hi, I'm Ben Murdock, The Songwriter Coach. I've been writing songs for around 30 years. Just saying that makes me feel old!!

I have a Masters Degree in Songwriting and have spent the last few years really digging into and researching the songwriting process and all the techniques that go into this wonderful and amazing creative outlet.

Sometimes what I discovered didn't surprise me at all, but quite often the things I found out amazed and astonished me.

We often write songs and don't know the names of the techniques we're using - we just use them because they feel right. We learned these by stealth - our teachers were the artists we spent hours and hours listening to. But the key is, we learned these techniques.

And it turns out there is plenty more to learn for most of us; an abundance of new techniques to discover which we've never known. And these techniques might just take a lyric of yours from good to beautifully sublime.

I want to share everything I've learned over the years in the hope that it will help fellow songwriters, like you, learn new tricks and techniques which make your songwriting more powerful and memorable.
