Hello!
My son wants to enter a song writing contest. He isn't done, but has most of his lyrics written. The problem we are facing is how to go about putting music to his words. The way he sings it is great and doesn't sound like any songs I know, but he can't write the music/instrumental part of that as he has no experience.
How does a songwriter typically get the background music for their lyrics? Or, is music/instrument writing going to be something he has to learn for himself?
Thank you for any advice,
Sara
