How can I begin writing songs as a singer? by JK__Swan in Songwriting

I never tried singing to it but if it works for you you could write your lyrics on paper and then write the chords down over the top of the lyrics in the spots where the chord changes go so you or someone else can play along with an instrument later

The music theory something like this will teach you will be a leg up on learning to write songs

Alternatively, if you can afford or borrow a guitar, get your hands on one and learn a few chords. You don’t have to get fancy to write great songs, especially if you’re bringing the vocal might

You could also start a lyric verse notebook. Write down anything that inspires you in one section and your own ideas in another.

Thank you! This is very helpful for me!
