Everything in here was very easy to understand for me as a project manager /lyricist with zero music production , instruments playing, and reading sheet music experience. I’m excited to add this knowledge to my song writing and music making tool box, so I can master my niche. Thank you.

Finally…some clarity!

I liked that it was quick & to the point. Great exercises. The author knew what he was talking about!

This book is a quick read, and detailed description of the way songs should be later out.

Very nice introduction to songwriting... introduces all the theory and harmonic conventions to push those who have little to no experience forward. And for all levels, it's great to review the basics. The reader was clear and concise. Definitely worth the price of admission.

(13 yrs experience) was not impressed with the subject matter. would not recommend for purchase.

Just didn't dig it much.

I'm not sure why this book is discussing theory in the first place, but I, IV, V chords should not be read as letters. They are Roman numerals, and should be read as numbers. It could only confuse a person new to music theory. Those that already know music theory likely think as I do that the narrator should have been informed about how to read that notation.

This book had lots of good ideas and exercises to get you started on the bare bones basics of writing songs. It's a little too short for my tadtes but very useful!!!

Great audiobook! I feel enlightened! Kudos! Thank you ! I feel Sean Levi did a wonderful job writing and Anthony C. Forsmafk narrated very well.

Composing

I enjoyed have the book was structured. But I do wish it was longer with more examples. I would've liked some more breakdowns of actual popular songs and exercises to perform other than just a harmony and a simple poem. Would say it would be worth $1.50.

Short but decent

Great narration and written well. But really short and brief and mostly about writing lyrics. He goes blazingly fast over the other topics on writing a song (melody, chords, key, ...)

Great (and very short) introduction in songwriting
