Songwriting Success with Scott Simons of America’s Got Talent (30th June 18:00 PT)

Point Blank LA’s lead songwriting instructor Scott Simons knows his stuff when it comes to writing great songs — he has served for years in roles like pianist and assistant music director for shows like America’s Got Talent, The X Factor, and Little Big Shots. He also fronts the synth-pop group TeamMate, and sang the theme song for the animated kids show Paw Patrol! He’s played for artists including Leona Lewis, Drake Bell, Chris Mann, and Rooney, written songs for Dirty Vegas, Daddy’s Groove, Razihel, and Allen Stone, and has even been sampled by Wiz Khalifa.

In this session, Simons will share his best practices for songwriting and the most important pieces of music theory and songcraft in order to create musical works that stand out. He’ll break down the mechanics of a few of his favorite modern tunes to illuminate what makes them work so well. He’ll cover the most essential bits of music theory knowledge necessary in order to write great songs, and touch upon harmony, melody, and rhythmic considerations. He’ll also discuss his approach to developing and maintaining a professional career in songwriting, including networking, cowriting, publishing, and performing. Say you took a class with a pro songwriter who hails straight from America’s Got Talent and The X Factor!
