Description

Professional songwriters share their writing process, how they collaborate with other artists, and what it takes to be a songwriter. -- "Think Like A Musician" connects you with working musicians who want to help the music-curious and music-passionate hone and share the gift of music with the world. Part interview, part animated course, our second season "Think Like A Songwriter" features artists sharing their insight on the ins and outs of fine-tuning your songwriting and crafting timeless, memorable music. Each episode features free supplemental learning materials developed by Education Through Music (https://etmonline.org) — a nonprofit with over 30 years of experience developing classroom-adaptable curriculum for music educators. Directed by Kozmonot Animation Studio. A special thanks to the musicians who provided their insights and expertise for this video.
