Scoring a song is all about listening to a song and duplicating what you heard in the song, and you have to look out for some things like the song arrangement, the key, harmony, melody and other things.c one with me as I show you some tips that will aid you to score songs and get positive results.

This is the first and vital thing to do whenever you want to score a song. Every song has itsessage and it's essenve so if you want to be able to get the essence of the song and pass the same message across, you need to take time and listen so that you can convey the real message as conveyed by the song owner to your audience when performing it.

  • TAKE DOWN THE LYRICS

The lyrics of the song you are scoring is quite important. In this technology age, you will want to browse the lyrics of the song. Well this is good but I prefer you listen to the song you are so long so as to confirm that lyrics you must have gotten online as man is prone to make mistakes. So get your lyrics and try to use a good headphone or speakers so as to get the diction pronunciation of every word as it comes out from the mouth of the singer.

  • WORK ON THE MELODY OF THE CHORUS AND VERSES

The melody of a song is very vital and should be worked on very well. The first melody of a song is the chorus. The chorus also carries the central idea of the song so it shouldnt be tempered with.
The melody of the verses, the timing and lyrics should also b pu into consideration.

  • MASTER THE HARMONY OF THE SONG
    The harmony of a song is the beauty. The harmony of song varies with the key of the song. As you listen, the techniques and dynamics of the harmony will be gottenn and th right application will yield maximum result.

  • PRACTICE
    You have to practice the song the right applicationay for maximum results. You ought to play the song as you practice and tick out the difference noted. Or you can record as you sing and compare your recorded piece and the original piece at the end. By this method, you are sure to get the differences and correct them.

FINALLY
You can do the song with the original key of the song if yo can hit the highest note of the song, but If not you can switch to a key you are comfortable with for better presentation.
Watch out do your diction cause knowing the right lyrics is not enough but pronuncing it the right way is.
