I thought I would take a moment to make songwriters aware of an amazing resource available on Bill Pere’s web site. Bill Pere is an internationally published songwriter, recording artist and songwriting coach. He has had 13 top-ten songs on various Indie charts for more than 120 consecutive weeks. He has been included on soundtracks and podcasts on college and satellite radio – quite simply, he has been extremely successful and knows exactly what he is doing. We learn from those who are successful and understand the craft, plain and simple.
What he has created, for all of us to learn from, is something called “The Songcrafter’s Coloring Book”. It is absolutely amazing. The links to the PDFs that make up the Coloring Book can be found on the link to his site above. It is worth pointing out, however, that in my opinion one of the most interesting resources here is a diagram called “The Anatomy of a Song”. Basically, he has taken the process that we all go through (if done correctly) in crafting a song and boiled it down into a flow chart type of diagram. It is an interesting study to say the least.
I would encourage anyone who is serious about their songwriting and wants to improve their craft to study what he has put together from A-Z. What Bill has put together for all of us to access is such an amazing tool – and he has done so freely which is just as amazing in this day and age. I would like to give Bill credit here for doing this. It obviously took him a tremendous amount of time and as I’m sure he utilizes this in his coaching, for him to place this on his site for access by songwriters like you and I is so very nice of him.
Kudos to Bill – and to the songwriters out there, again, you are missing out if you don’t study this in great detail.
