Audio Files for Songwriting Strategies

Hey readers of Songwriting Strategies!

Did you know that there are downloadable audio MP3s available for every example and exercise in the book?

Many readers are not particularly comfortable with formal music notation. I also use some non-standard notations in the book, such as Nashville chord charts, notations for rhythmic settings of lyrics, and so forth. I wanted to make it as easy as possible to follow along with the book, for all readers. But - since the book is structured around lots of very small examples rather than whole songs, it didn't make sense to include a CD in the original version of the book (which is outdated tech now anyway - a CD is something too big for a coaster, too small for a frisbee...) Instead - I had some outstanding student performers create lovely renditions of every example and exercise. These are available as a downloadable zip file of MP3s here at 360Songwriting.com.

Unfortunately - many readers didn't find out about these files. (For the record - I did mention this in the foreword to the book - but who reads forewords?) Please spread the word to your regular weekly meeting of Friends Who Love Songwriting Strategies!
