Produced by professional musicians with commercial songwriting success of their own, this songwriting journal is designed to help fellow songwriters and composers, musicians, school kids, teenagers, college kids, university students, music students and music teachers, or any creatives who are looking to connect with their inner Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, John Mayer etc!
The songwriter's journal is a soft paperback that is printed on demand, so it is lightweight and easily portable, and there is no interim waste of resources and energy from printing or shipping en mass. The journal would make the perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father's Day, back-to-school, singer gifts and music graduation gifts, and could also be used in high school music theory classes, or for transcribing music. The versatile and lovingly designed songwriting notebook by The Song In My Head Ltd has plenty of space for creativity, as well as including technical guidance on the art of songwriting itself.

Why a physical journal and not an app?
Because writing by hand forces the brain to slow down, which allows for deeper and expanded engagement with creative thoughts and ideas.
Dimensions: Lightweight with a paperback cover, and so the perfect size for carrying: 9.25 by 7.5 inches, the Songwriter Journal has 120 interior (non-perforated) pages. The font used within the academic areas is an unintrusive, light grey, handwritten one, to give the book the full 'private journal' and less of a 'textbook' kind of feel. It is 'your' journal after all. If you click on either of the author links within this listing, there is a video trailer and more photos of the journal housed there, showing its contents and size. The Song In My Head has also produced Songwriter Cards, a 105-card deck of inspirational and educational cards to accompany the songwriting process, and these are also available on Amazon.
