Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing music can be a very rewarding and creative process, but sometimes it can be overwhelming - especially if you're new to this, or you've been told that you're not good at songwriting! When I was a kid, my piano teacher told my mom that I wasn't cut out for music. For years I listened to that false belief. Then my creativity was liberated when I started with the Native American flute. I didn't know anything about music, but I came up with my own way of writing music and capturing melodies... and it worked! That framework helped me write more than 200 songs. With this book, you'll learn how to capture those short melodies so that you can repeat what you just played, arrange your song so that you aren't mindlessly noodling, and connect your story so you have the confidence to share your music This is the secret sauce, and in this e-book, I'll show you the shortcuts to these exact tactics! Creative endeavors require good tools. That's why I've built a toolkit for you. You'll find capturing tactics, arrangement strategies, blank NAF TAB sheets, phrasing prompts and a story sheet as part of this book to help you maximize your songwriting experience. Note: This book does not address how to write the notes on that staff. Instead, we are focusing solely on finger diagrams for now. If you already read Nakai TAB you are welcome to use that feature. I will be creating a course for learning the Nakai TAB system in the future!
