ABOUT KEPPIE
Hi I'm Keppie. I'm a professional songwriter, and songwriting teacher. I've been teaching song and lyric writing for over 10 years now for some of the best contemporary music colleges in the world- Berklee Online, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music's Open Academy, as well as for the Australian College of the Arts. At other times, I've taught for the Australian Institute of Music, as well as the LA School of Songwriting.
My goal is to help people write better songs! My experience in the classroom, with thousands of students at this point (many going on to find careers and success in music), is that your songwriting, like all things, can get better with meaningful, deliberate practice. My intention is to share the skills, knowledge, information, and ideas that I've gathered with anyone who wants to improve their songwriting.

This is the classic "show not tell" thing that you see in creative writing classes - interesting to see it applied to songwriting, makes a lot of sense.
Exactly, it's show don't tell especially used when starting to write prose
" Project someone into the movie inside your mind " Yep, for me, that is what great songwriting is all about. The artist REN is exceptional at this. I also feel that, whilst all you say about the " most important " elements is absolutely spot on, every one of these elements must be totally natural and never forced, or the end result can sound somewhat pretentious and contrived. Honesty in our writing is, to me, THE most important thing of all. Thanks again for your excellent work at stripping back the layers to provide a wonderful understanding of the mechanics of great songwriting. You do a fabulous job. ( has anyone ever told you, Benny, you are like a young, handsome version of Gareth Southgate ? 😎 ) 🙏
I've been writing songs for years but these guys bring definition and clarity I could never come close to explaining... never mind converting to songs. 10/10 I am Salieri's donkey
Excellent demonstration and example of what's possible with daily practice! Just what I needed to re-kickstart my sensory writing routine.
Glad it was helpful! I send out a free newsletter with my top songwriting tips and prompts, if you're interested! You can sign up here: howtowritesongs.org/
I love the way you explain song writing
I love how you look at each other. ❤ Also great tips. 😊🙏
very helpful, intuitive and well-explained. Thank you very much
You are a remarkable person. Thanks for sharing
Wonderful as ever, thanks! would love to see a practical video on how this imagery goes on to creating verse lines, I'm sure you've already done some already :)
I have just had a click moment with how my didgeridoo songs breath! I am a story teller, as the story is what I feel. I am torn between the beautiful expression of the earthly vibrations that echo from the Didgeridoo and the poetic warming words that walk through the sensation of the mind. The elements of song writing are like the elements of the earth, you can’t have one without the other.
Thx for the insight. Awesome advice and video

Great video 😊
I am Brazilian snd I canto write like this at all my English is very based on everyday words not poetic at all as a matter of fact very basic
It’s okay. I struggled writing poetry in French but my limited vocabulary forced me to lean into simple feeling words in unusual way.
Basic is better than word vomit
This descriptive writing is great but seems more like a book. I’m no expert though and think it can still be very useful in song writing but also in a book.
Love this this chanel 🕊️❤️🎨🌄🙏🌍🕯️🎆☺️
That was fun.

Excellent video, thank you. You mention in the video that you were using a word prompt app to generate words for object writing and that you would put the link in the description. I don't see it . Can you let me know which one you used please?
Thanks for pointing that out! I've added it to the video description, and here it is for you: perchance.org/useful-generators
Sight, smell, touch, taste, sound and what are the other two senses? Please
I got it thank you ❤🙏🏼

ahhhh, the trauma
Not the Beatles 😅
Very primitive explanation, as always. Pragmatic approach is not entirely truth about deep spaces of human inner world. And yet, thanks, and sorry for my bad english
