I don’t claim to know how to teach anybody anything, let alone something so individual and subjective as writing songs. The truth is, dear readers, you already know how to write songs. You’ve been, in a sense, studying them your whole life. My goal as a teacher, and the goal of this book, is ‘unlocking the great songs inside you.’ They’re in there. I have witnessed the births of hundreds of songs in class, some so beautiful that the class is wiping back tears by the end. These songs were written by people exactly like you: lovers of music, strummers of guitars, banjos, mandolins, people who’ve dreamed of writing songs like the ones they love. So, welcome and good luck. — Steve Dawson, from the Introduction T_x001F_ake It to the Bridge combines a_x001E_ lively, instructive dia_x001E_logue, helpful chord, key _x001E_and song-form cha_x001E_rts, _x001E_and crea_x001E_tive songwriting assignments designed to inspire _x001E_anyone who ever h_x001E_as thought of _x001E_adding songs to the world.
