About this listen
Learn how to instantly create riffs hooks and HIT vocal melodies.
This interactive audiobook dispels the myths of songwriting and destroys the negatives that hold songwriters back and ends songwriter's block in melody.
You may have read books on songwriting, or you’ve seen such questions as:
- “Where do I start?”
- “How do I write a song?”
- “How do I progress a melody?”
You may have seen these usual recycled, rubbish, generic answers like:
- “Write a song every two days during the month of February.”
- “Persevere.”
- “Keep a hook book.”
- “Go to music college.”
- “Learn music theory.”
- “Write for 10,000 hours.”
- “Don’t go to sleep the night before you write a song because you’ll be more creative when you’re tired.”, etc.
You’ll see these little snippets in books and scattered all over the internet, but these are not the answers you are looking for.
You might do all these things but find they don’t work. You might go to music college but find that on your first day, when you’re expecting to learn how to start creating vocal melodies, the thoughts of “Why am I here?” start to enter your mind.
This audiobook is packed with tutorials demonstrating the kind of vocal melodies you can compose by using the methods in The Songwriting Magic Formula.

He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

Mary Gauthier was 12 years old when she was given her Aunt Jenny’s old guitar and taught herself to play with a Mel Bay basic guitar workbook. Music offered her a window to a world where others felt the way she did. Songs became lifelines to her, and she longed to write her own, one day. Then, for a decade, while struggling with addiction, Gauthier put her dream away and her call to songwriting faded. It wasn’t until she got sober and went to an open mic with a friend did she realize that she not only still wanted to write songs, she needed to.
