  • This seminar will give you important keys to phrasing your lyrics for the most impact and support of meaning. Working with rhythms and placements, you'll learn how to make sure that the line, like body language, helps to really deliver the emotion you intend. This is another "can't miss" seminar -- it's bound to take your writing to the next level.
    Pat Pattison is a Professor at Berklee College of Music, where he teaches Lyric Writing and Poetry.
    In addition to his four books, Songwriting Without Boundaries, Writing Better Lyrics, The Essential Guide to Lyric Form and Structure, and The Essential Guide to Rhyming, Pat has developed three online lyric writing courses, one on poetry, and one on creative writing available through Berkleemusic.com. He has filmed a series of lectures and masterclasses, available through Songwork.com and has written over 50 articles for various magazines and blogs.
    Pat continues to present songwriting clinics across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Several of his students have won Grammys, including John Mayer and Gillian Welch.

I had interviewed her when she was 18 for an internet radio show I was doing. Second is Jesse Terry. I now do an internet tv show uploaded to RUclips called "The Performing Songwriter". Jesse was my guest on the last show uploaded.

      I don't really think it is about that. Meaning it's not about if he's written a hit song anymore than a music theory teacher having composed a sonata.
      Just like with music theory, it helps to to understand what is already happening.
