Composition / Songwriting Lessons

Songwriting and Composition lessons at Music Mind Mastery offer a dynamic and scientifically informed journey into musical creation, tailored to each student’s creative vision.

• The Curriculum begins with a deep dive into music theory covering harmony, melody and rhythm to provide a strong foundation for crafting original works-skills that enhance executive functions and academic performance, as noted by Sloboda (1985) in the Musical Mind.
• Students explore diverse genres such as film scoring, orchestral writing, and developing complex arrangements that stimulate cognitive flexibility and pattern recognition.
• The lessons include composing songs across various genres- pop, classical, jazz and more encouraging versatility and emotional expression, supported by Koelsch (2014) from its mind boosting effects.
• Emphasis is placed on overall structure, from verse-chorus forms to multi movement works, fostering analytical thinking and creativity that align with research on music’s impact on IQ (Schellenberg, 2006).
• Students learn the foundations of storytelling and poetry which include rhyming, using imagery and metaphors turning personal experiences into art, making each session a blend of intellectual growth and self- discovery.
