The Musicality Podcast
by The Music Interval Theory Podcast · Christopher Sutton
Many composers struggle to write original and fresh music and get frustrated. At the Music Interval Theory Academy (MITA), we teach a transparent and proven methodology that will help you define your unique musical voice and raise above the generic sound of everybody else. Don't be tricked into believing that most of the composers you admire are (or were) born geniuses. We know that the vast majority of great composers are trained.

Songwriting: Writing the Lyrics
Thereâs a songwriter lurking somewhere inside you, peeking around corners, wondering if itâs safe to come out. Now it is. This course is an invitation to let your inner songwriter step into the sunlight. All it takes is a simple âyesâ and youâll be climbing that windy hill, marveling at the view. If you havenât written any or many songs, this course will show you an efficient, effective process for tailoring songs to express your ideas and emotions. If you have, youâll look at your process differently, taking control of aspects of the process you may have not noticed. The course will start by examining the tools available to you, all revolving around the essential concept of prosody. Youâll learn to use your tools to enhance your messageâto work compositionally at the same time youâre developing your ideas. Youâll be working both lyrically and musically, though musically itâs not necessary that you either read music or play an instrument. If you play, great, and youâll be encouraged to play and record your musical responses to the assignments. If you donât play, the course offers you a number of musical loops to work with. All youâll have to do is sing your melodies over the loops. Assignments will ask you to post something for peer reviewâsometimes lyric lines or sections, sometimes melodies, sometimes both. None of it has to be polished. The course is about writing, not performing. Most important, youâll have a lot of fun.
