• Learn basic structures: 
    Study popular song structures like Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus to build a strong foundation. 
  • Start with simple chords: 
    Use common and simple chord progressions to get comfortable before branching out. 
  • Capture your ideas: 
    Keep a notebook or document to jot down any and all lyrical and musical ideas as they come to you. 
  • Finish your songs: 
    It's better to finish a simple, imperfect song than to never finish anything. Set a goal to complete a song, even if it's just a basic version.
