Song writing - Definition and Overview

A style of musical composition, song writing is the process of creating a short piece of music usually involving lyrics (called a song). Methods used in song writing range from experimentation and improvisation to reliance on established classical structures (see Johannes Brahms or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart).

Though often seen as the job of the band leader (often the singer), or the band as a group, a lot of modern pop songs have been actually written by professional song writers, that make a living by creating songs for interpreting artists.
