As the saying goes, genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. And when it comes to hit songs, this couldn't be more true.

Good Songs are Written. HIT Songs are REwritten

Most hit songs start off with a spark of inspiration, but it’s during the rewrite process where they’re meticulously fine-tuned.

This masterclass provides you with a step-by-step process you can use during your rewrite process to take your songs from good to great.

There are three main segments to this masterclass, each approximately three hours long: melody and hooks, lyrics and rhymes, and structure and arrangement.

Each segment uses in-depth Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 case studies to explore:

The most effective songwriting techniques used in today’s hits
How today’s hits are optimized to fire on all cylinders

You'll learn:

Techniques for optimizing every aspect of your song while preserving its original essence
How to assess your song’s strengths and weaknesses
The psychology behind strategic songwriting and production decisions

You’ll walk away with Hit Songs Deconstructed proprietary materials that you can use to assess and optimize your songs, including:

Three workbooks with checklists to help guide you through your rewrite process (one for each segment)
The Hit Songs Deconstructed Melodic Parts Table
The Hit Songs Deconstructed Narrative Assessment Table
The Hit Songs Deconstructed A.I.D.E. Table
The Hit Songs Deconstructed Rhymes Table

While taking this masterclass, you also have the option to add live, one-on-one, Zoom coaching sessions to help you apply the concepts you learn to a song you are working on. Coaching session is are personally conducted by Hit Songs Deconstructed Founder, and masterclass instructor, David Penn.
