This is something I’ve meant to do for a long time: “The Essential Secrets of Songwriting Study Guide.” Over the years I’ve received many emails from songwriters asking, in various ways, “What do you suggest as a good system for making my way through your ebook bundle?”

If you’re like me, you’ll probably just dig in to the first thing that opens on your screen and start reading. But some people like a bit of structure when it comes to studying. So in answer to the question, “How do I study all of the material,” this is offered in the preface to the guide:

The answer is complicated, because it depends on many factors, each dependent on an individual’s musical history. In that sense, it’s not much different from the problem that music teachers face in most classroom situations: all students enter their first day of class with widely differing musical backgrounds, and the teacher is expected to teach them all.

This guide is an attempt to help songwriters who are encountering “The Essential Secrets of Songwriting” eBook bundle for the first time. And because there is no way for me to be familiar with your own musical background, it goes on the only premise that makes sense: you know a bit about some things, a bit more about other things, and a bit less about the rest. Assuming that to be more-or-less true, the following guide can help you tackle the eBooks in a sensible order, allowing the information from one text to help you understand the material in another.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with reading the eBooks in any order you wish, skipping the chapters that contain information you’re already familiar with, and digging into the information that’s new to you. But if you want to systemize how you learn, and ensure that you’re getting the most out of what you’ve just downloaded onto your computer, try the following guide. You’ll notice that it jumps around a little bit from topic to topic. That’s intentional; it attempts to keep you from getting bogged down in any one area for too long.
