Of all the sections in a hit song, it’s typically the chorus that “seals the deal” with the listener and keeps them coming back more. For this reason, its exceptionally important that your song’s choruses be firing on all cylinders.

This 1.5 hour, six-segment workshop uses the Hit Songs Deconstructed methodology to explore the techniques utilized by hit songwriters to maximize the road leading up to and throughout their song’s choruses.

With a diverse array of case studies selected from some of the biggest recent hits, you’ll learn how hitmakers prime each aspect of a song, including hooks, melody, lyrics, rhymes, arrangement, energy and more, to bolster each chorus’s impact.

You will come away with a foundational understanding of what makes hit song choruses so effective and unique insight into how to craft the most effective choruses for your song.

Topics covered include:

Melodic Development
Energy and Arrangement
Chorus Impact Accentuation
Motifs and Hook Foreshadowing
