OCTOBER 2020 EXERCISES
DECONSTRUCT A SONG:
Start with a short song you like and already know how to play. Keeping the melody, create your own lyrics in place of the original ones. Set a timer to 10 minutes. Don’t think, just create. Take a look at the lyrics you just wrote. Now, create new music to the lyrics you just wrote. In just 10 minutes, you’ve created a new song!
DIVIDE IT UP:
Try dividing up the writing process between the writers into sections. You can write a verse, and have another writer come up with the chorus. Or you could even subdivide the song into smaller chunks, going line by line. Dividing it up can lead to some interesting ideas!
