Produced by professional musicians who have achieved commercial songwriting success of their own, this songwriting journal is designed for fellow songwriters and composers, musicians, kids, creatives, music students and music teachers, wordsmiths and poets, or anyone looking to connect with their inner Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, John Mayer etc!
The songwriter's journal is a paperback that is printed on demand, so that way it is both lightweight and easily portable to use on the fly, and there is also no interim waste of resources and energy from printing or shipping en mass. The journal would make the perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, back-to-school, singer gifts and music graduation gifts. This versatile and lovingly designed songwriting notebook by The Song In My Head Ltd has plenty of space for creativity, as well as including technical guidance on the art of songwriting itself.
"The theory and songwriting teachers here love them! Congrats on a great product!" Conor Doherty - Director of Music, The BRIT School, (alumni includes: Amy Winehouse, Adele, Rizzle Kicks, The Noisettes, Imogen Heap & Katie Melua).
Additional contents inside the songwriting book:

Why a physical journal and not an app?
Because writing by hand forces the brain to slow down, which allows for deeper and expanded engagement with creative thoughts and ideas.
Dimensions: Lightweight with a paperback cover, and so the perfect size for carrying: 9.25 by 7.5 inches, the Songwriter Journal has 120 interior (non-perforated) pages. The font used within the academic areas is an unintrusive, light grey, handwritten one, to give the book the full 'private journal' and less of a 'textbook' kind of feel. It is 'your' journal after all. If you click on either of the author links within this listing, there is a video trailer and more photos of the journal housed there, showing its contents and size. The Song In My Head has also produced Songwriter Cards, a 105-card deck of inspirational and educational cards to accompany the songwriting process, and these are also available on Amazon.
