Book Reviews of Songwriting for Dummies
Book Review: Excellent - well-written and user-friendly
Summary: 5 Stars
From beginning to end, I found this book informative, helpful and encouragingI have been writing songs on an amateur level for some years, but this book helped build my confidence to the extent that I am now working seriously on some professional material and have almost finished my first 4-track demo!
The book is presented very logically and the exercises follow a natural progression.
My only criticism is that all the examples and addresses given are specifically American and I would have liked to see at least an appendix with relevent info for UK (and other English-speaking) readers.
