The authors provide a nice blend of scholarly research and practical strategies on songwriting. I encourage anyone to read this book who is interested in understanding and pursuing a career or personal avocation in songwriting.

An essential resource for secondary-school music theory and composition classes or individual students interested in independent songwriting experiences.

This book ably guides those wanting to learn about the songwriting process, as well as teachers who are interested in reinvigorating their music programs with a new course or unit in songwriting.
