Song Structure—From Sections to Hooks That Stick
You've mastered chord progressions—now build the song around them. This course teaches you to construct verse, chorus, and pre-chorus sections that build tension and release in ways that make listeners care. You'll learn to create instability and stability by shifting measure lengths, contrast sections so the chorus actually pops, and decide between repetitive patterns and through-composition—techniques that separate amateur songs from records people replay.
This is songwriting craft: the scaffolding that holds your harmony and melody upright. A course for anyone serious about writing better songs.
