How to Make Your Music Sound Better
1. Begin with good writing and structure
Like a good foundation is to a strong building, good songwriting skill is also at the base of making your songs sound better. Having a strong hook, catchy lyrics, and a good overall flow makes it easier to put music to your songs and make them memorable.
As noted in a Music Think Tank article by Larry Butler, a musician and record company executive, great songwriters will tell you that getting good at it takes time, even if you’re naturally talented. The important thing is to practice, practice, practice…like other forms of writing, the more you do it, the better you will get. Also, be aware that you most often might need to rewrite numerous times before getting a song just right – and you’ll know when it is or when it isn’t.
Take it from songwriter, Phil Bentley: “Don’t settle, until every part of your song feels undeniable. If it just feels “good enough” it probably isn’t good enough.”
