I have been engaged in a very long-term study of the real and actual principles of songwriting.

Over those years, I have read many books, articles, workbooks, watched a wide variety of videos and tutorials and listened to probably ten thousand songs.

The results of my on-going study are presented in my Songwriting article, available in the General Music Articles section.

I have further tried to embed these principles in the songs that I have written.

These songs are presented in my three song books, separately formatted for piano, guitar, violin, mandolin and banjo and are displayed below.
