The Song In My Head: Songwriter Journal

“The theory and songwriting teachers here love them! Congrats on a great product!” Conor Doherty – Director of Music, The BRIT School, (alumni includes: Adele, Amy Winehouse, Imogen Heap).

“Original and a great gift for any songwriter. Good quality and inspiring texts. A helpful and lovingly designed book.” Grammy Award winner – John McLaughlin

“A very good format for taking notes and writing music.” Florent Garcia – Artist & YouTuber

Contents inside the songwriting book:

• 108 pages of blank lyric & music score paper (manuscript paper) with guitar tabs too, for composing music and working on lyrics
• A guide to the anatomy of a song
• Creative ideas to stimulate inspiration
• Guitar chord tips
• Harmony and music theory help
• Inspiring artist quotes

GET THOSE SONGS OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND ONTO THE PAGE! Perfect for brainstorming and experimenting, these Songwriter Journals also have prompts and music theory tips to stimulate the creation of amazing, original songs. Packed with inspirational quotes, (read how Bjork goes about the song writing process and where Ed Sheeran finds his inspiration), there’s a variety of theoretical support too – just what chords will work well together in any given key for example and how to go about structuring a song?

SEE OFF WRITERS’ BLOCK! Unlike blank songwriter journals, this one has the added value of prompts to stimulate creativity, backed up with technical tips to loosen up your songwriting inhibitions and help to trigger original ideas, all while boosting your self-confidence in the process.

WHO ARE THEY FOR? This handy paperback is designed for all kinds of artists: from beginner ‘bedroom’ singer-songwriters; to accomplished music students needing a notepad when working with their music teachers; to up and coming indie bands with big dreams of writing a hit; or anyone who wants to connect with their inner Bruno Mars, Billie Eilish, or maybe a favorite lyricist. The note books also make for highly original and collectible gifts for musical teens. After all John Legend and John Lennon had to start somewhere, so you could be setting some young talent you love on an exciting path to becoming the next TikTok star, or songwriting for Beyoncé!

DETAILS The songwriter’s journal is a soft paperback that is printed on demand, so it is lightweight and easily portable, and there is no interim waste of resources and energy from printing or shipping en mass.

Dimensions:Lightweight with a paperback cover, so the perfect size for carrying: 9.25 by 7.5 inches, the Songwriter Journal has 120 interior (non-perforated) pages. The font used is an unintrusive, light grey, handwritten one, to give the book less of a ‘textbook’ feel. This is your private journal to jot your ideas in after all.

The Song In My Head has also produced Songwriter Cards, a 105-card deck of inspirational and educational cards to accompany the songwriting process, and a Music Manuscript Book with Theory Guide. These are also available on Amazon.
