Song Writing Assignment Please Help.

[musicguy14]

Hi I’m Josh Hill, I’m 15 and I am an aspiring song writer and have been since a young age. I am currently doing a B-Tec course in Music Technology. For one of my assignments I have been asked to research an area in the Music Industry that appeals to me and write about it, I then have to write about someone who I feel has changed that area of the industry.

I have chosen to write about the world of song writing and have some questions that I would be grateful if you could answer:

- What education and skills do you need to become a song writer?

- How do people who want a career in song writing first start out?

- How do unknown or beginner songwriters sell or get their material out there?

- What would the average day of a free-lance song writer consist of?

- What do you think is the secret to writing a good song???

- What is the average salary of a free-lance song writer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I would be very interested to hear any of your own experiences’ in this area.

Thank you very much,

Josh
