We were recently asked by ICMP, the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London, for our top songwriting tips gleaned from the now 100+ conversations we’ve had on the Sodajerker podcast with world-leading songwriters. We’re nothing if not obliging, so we rustled up a few thoughts in response to their questions.

You can read the results here.

Our own Simon also paid a visit to the Institute to give a couple of lectures about his research to students on the MA Songwriting programme.

There are a number of songwriting options available at ICMP including online courses, a BA (Hons) degree and postgraduate study. Check them out if you are thinking of developing your songwriting skills through education.
