Book Reviews of Melody in Songwriting: Tools and Techniques for Writing Hit Songs (Berklee Guide)

Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I am currently writing a musical, and I keep this book next to me. It is packed with very useful information. Other books cover the same topics but in a more complicated manner. This book is simple and at the same time it goes deep into each subject. "Melody in Songwriting" is written in an engaging way, so it doesn't become a dull and technical book. Every time I read it it makes me want to write more music, and it demystifies the process without taking the magic out of it. I highly recommend "Melody in Songwriting", both as a reference book and as a book to cover the initial stages of songwriting.
