My name is Kole and I’m glad you’ve taken the time to look at my column “Songwriting Techniques and Theories.”  In this particular column, I will be presenting and explaining techniques and theories that you can use in your own songwriting.  Some of these techniques and theories are things that I have learned throughout my studies, but I have also created quite a few of my own.  Anyway, without any further ado, I urge you to read and take as much as you can from the articles posted below.
