The Songwriter's Podcast with Anne Sibley

Songwriting Champion Violet Vonder Haar


Listen Later

A fun gathering with Violet Vonder Haar, a music teacher, singer-songwriter and community leader. She joins my songwriting group and gives us a break-down of her self-imposed songwriting challenge: 30 songs in 30 days!  Listen as she performs two of these original songs, “Ghost on This Street” and “The Introvert’s Lament”. 


Nobody waves hello anymore

We just walk down the sidewalk and try to ignore

What is clearly happening right under our feet

Is it just me or is there a ghost on this street?

Takeaways:


If we are writing from an authentic place, sometimes our songs will sound the same, that is okay.


Varying dropped tunings is one way Violet uses to vary what she’s performing


Our songwriting process can evolve


Life creates art and art creates life!


Songwriting is a conversation between two voices (you and your instrument!)


Songwriting is a fun adventure, a mystery of letting the song come through you


We are so hard on ourselves, would I speak to another person like this? I wouldn’t.


It’s a process and a practice and they don’t all have to be hits!


Two things you need to write a song: An audience and a deadline!
