COURSE-SPECIFIC CURRICULUM

Songwriting Architecture teaches Songwriting Architecture.

This is not a redirect to the Factory or another product. It is the curriculum path for this exact class.

01

Build 1 · Sound Discovery

Read the Phonetic Skeleton Method, preserve the source recording, mark the vocal movement, and build a language bank before forcing full lines.

02

Build 2 · Line & Pair Mechanics

Read the Line and Pair Mechanics examples, then write four dependent pairs whose second lines answer, sharpen, reverse, or complicate the first.

03

Build 3 · Structural Movement

Read the escalation and payoff demonstrations, then map pressure across a section and record one earned payoff pass.

04

Build 4 · Rhyme, Density & Pocket

Read the sound-family, density, and read-aloud material, then make a rhyme map and compare a revised pair aloud.

05

Build 5 · Controlled Variation

Read the cadence and pocket practice, mark syllable movement and breath, then record two delivery passes and select the stronger version.

06

Build 6 · Concept, Imagery & Hooks

Read the concept, imagery, hook, and structure material, then submit an image system, hook candidates, selected hook, and complete song blueprint.

07

Build 7 · Performance Psychology

Read the performance map and delivery material, then mark the lyric and record a controlled vocal performance with clear intention.

08

Build 8 · Revision & Complete Song

Read the diagnostic revision and complete-song material, then submit the finished original song, version history, revision rationale, and performance recording.

09

Build 9 · Reusable Personal System

Read the quick-reference forms and final audit, then turn the completed song into a reusable personal songwriting system and next-song start plan.
