It used to drive me crazy to be out somewhere, Visit Here http://newmoviesong.blogspot.com

get a great idea for a song and have nothing to write with or write on. So I started keeping a small size notebook or note pad with me, to capture song ideas when they come along. Think about all of the places you are during a normal day and have one for each place. Before you go home, tear the pages out and put the ideas in your idea folder in your computer.

If you write music as well as lyrics, or if you are the melody man (or woman), you will need a guitar or piano or both. Be sure to keep them in good working order so you will always have them ready when you need them.

Keep a means of recording your ideas handy as you work. Even if you don't have a studio caliber recording system, at least have a small tape recorder, or a boom box available to get those ideas down. It's a sad thing to come up with a great idea and not capture it for later. Then it's lost forever.

Once you've turned those ideas into completed songs, you need a method of recording them to start the process of getting them to artists who are looking for songs for their next project. At this point you don't need to put out hundreds of dollars to get a top level demo done. You just need to get your song into digital form (MP3) so you can store it, burn it on a CD and/or email it to people who can shop it for you.

Once you have it in MP3 form, save it in a folder on your hard drive, set up a MySpace page or a website where others can go and hear your material. Be prepared to share your songs and take advantage of every opportunity.

Having your songs online is so convenient for everyone involved and says to the music industry, "I am a professional and I am dead serious about my songwriting." Music publishers and recording artists are already using Internet technology when they are looking for songs. If you have your material somewhere online, you can simply send the website url to publishers and artists so they can go to the website and listen to your songs. This is much easier than the old fashioned method of pounding the pavement along Music Row.

If you are like me, ideas for new songs are always popping into your head wherever you are, not just when you are in front of your computer. I finally got into the habit of carrying a small tape recorder with me at all times. Capturing your ideas as they come is very important in maximizing your songwriting potential.

Songwriting is much easier when you are organized and have all the tools you need. If you are serious about your songwriting, please take the time to consider these options and get your songwriting business set up right. If you will do that, you'll be well on your way to songwriting success.Visit Here http://newmoviesong.blogspot.com
