Songwriting Hit Mastery: Lyric Writing, Music Theory

Andreas and Peirce organize songwriting around ideas, themes and the parts of a song before developing chords, lyrics and melody. The program supplies a set of craft decisions that can be tested in a draft. Its examples aim at accessible popular songwriting rather than orchestration or advanced production engineering.

What you will learn

• Develop a song idea and theme
• Choose structure and chord movement
• Connect lyric and melody choices

Who this suits

A fit for a new songwriter who wants a broad overview of the craft and is prepared to write and revise between the video sections instead of only watching examples.

Before you enroll

The provider does not require special skills. About three hours and 42 minutes of video are listed, with a June 2025 update. The word hit in the title describes a marketing goal, not a promise of chart success, income or audience response. Independent writing practice takes additional time.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Draft one complete song around a specific theme. Mark the role of each section and revise one chord or melodic choice to improve its relationship with the words, keeping both versions for comparison.
