Instrumental Songwriting: The Song You Were Born to Write (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781066773909)

Most musicians never discover what they are truly capable of creating.

They spend years learning scales, songs, techniques, and theory, yet many never unlock the creative part of themselves that can turn those skills into original instrumental music. They wait for inspiration. They doubt their ideas. They start songs they never finish. They assume that creativity is a gift given to a lucky few. But every musician carries a hidden world of ideas within them.

After 3 decades as a musician, teacher, and songwriter, Ross Aviles discovered that creativity is something you can learn to access. When you understand how ideas appear, how to capture them, and how to develop them into finished songs, instrumental songwriting for any instrument becomes less mysterious and far more enjoyable.

In Instrumental Songwriting, The song you were born to write, you will learn a practical and inspiring approach to creating original music. You will discover how to generate ideas consistently, overcome creative blocks, build songs from simple musical fragments, and create music that feels authentic and meaningful.

This book will help you develop the habits, mindset, and creative process used by productive songwriters, while helping you uncover the musical voice that has been there all along. Because somewhere inside you are melodies you have never played, songs you have never finished, and ideas that have never been heard by another human being.

This book will help you find them.
