Use A Musical Motif
Some of the things that I found very useful for songwriting is the use of a musical motif. A motif a short musical phase that is used as a foundation for a melody. For a motif to work it must be repeated several time in the song section. In the video Anthony creates a musical phase based on the motif. The phase is then altered and modified to create some variations. The first variation is to add additional notes to the original motif. The second variation is to shorten the phase by removing some of the notes from the motif.
Match the Melody
One of the best ways to start a song is with a melody. A good lyricist will be able to write words to match the melody. As a matter of fact it should make it easier because it provides a framework for the words.
First Start With the Melody
Starting with a melody will result in a better music for the song. The main problem with starting with the words first is the melody often wanders. It takes away the fine art of composing music that has shape to the melody.
Writing a melody is only one piece of the songwriting pie. There are many other elements a songwriter needs to master.
