SONGWRITING WORKSHEETS TO START & GROW

No – songwriting worksheets aren’t about doing homework.

Worksheets can help you start a song and move faster down the page. If your goal is to tell the best story in the best way, songwriting worksheets help fine tune your writing. And one of the biggest benefits? Being your guide when you’ve got no one around to bounce things off.

These worksheets will help you gain knowledge and confidence when it comes to how to write a song. They’ll also help you get organized from ideation through pitching your songs, recording them and playing out with the help of songwriting worksheets.

Three Categories of Worksheets

(1) Basic Song Craft, (2) Leveling Up Your Songs, and (3) Stay Organized & Motivated.

Basic Song Craft worksheets are focused on the core elements of song craft. You’ll find baseline worksheets for creating a song structure (Song Builder Template), a chord chart great for guitar players, and creation worksheets for first line, verbs and similes.

Leveling Up worksheets bring more advanced songwriting skills into the picture. One of my favorites is the Family Rhyme Chart. Family rhyme is one of the easiest ways to move your song up a level, using advanced songwriting worksheets.

The Stay Organized section brings together some handy tools for keeping your goals in focus. We’ve also thrown in a few worksheets that help you keep your songwriting catalogue organized for things like ISRC code tracking, album release credits and more.

Now, one thing that sometimes happens is we can get a little jargony. If you ever run into a term you’re not familiar with, you can always go to the songwriting glossary with a simple click!
