In this study, I have composed music using different methods to find out how to write more

effectively and further develop as a songwriter. I then performed the songs during a concert in

order to show the result of my process.

Methods include setting aside time in my day for songwriting as regularly as possible,

writing music inspired by other songwriters’ music and composing under time pressure. I

have documented my process throughout to keep track of my experience. Finally, I present

and explain which methods were deemed the most pivotal throughout the process.
