Is it Songs or Instrumentals?

“Should I be pitching songs or instrumentals to music supervisors?”

Dear Songwriters, Artists, and Composers,

One of the most frequently asked questions I get from singer/songwriters is, “I’m a singer/songwriter, but I see other TAXI members making great money pitching instrumentals. What should I be pitching—songs or instrumentals?

You’ll know the answer if you invest three minutes to read this email. But first, consider this…

Which Pays More?

Songs with vocals pay much more per placement, but most people don’t know what TYPES of songs have the best shot at getting those primetime, big-dollar slots. Do you?

There’s only one book on the planet that tells you exactly what kind of songs Film and TV music supervisors are looking for and exactly how to write them—Robin Frederick’s follow up to her Best-Selling book, Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting! Robin was like a pitbull when she researched this book! She sunk her teeth in and didn’t let go until she unearthed a treasure trove of styles, patterns, and techniques that will make your songs stand out against the competition. The keys to the kingdom were always there, but nobody ever bothered to uncover them... until now!

• Learn what it takes to get your songs to the top of the pile when music supervisors are sorting through hundreds to fill a single slot! 
• Learn what triggers them to pick one song over others. 
• Learn how to determine if any of your existing songs could already be perfect for what music supervisors need.
• Learn how to write songs specifically for Film and TV, and how that’s often very different from writing songs for radio and records. 

After you’ve read Robin’s book, you’ll know exactly how to do what most of your competition doesn’t! You’ll also see why so many TAXI members are successful... They’ve already read this book!

What Readers Are Saying on Amazon… 

"Thank you so much for writing this book Robin!!!! It is truly one of the best songwriting books I have EVER purchased. (And I have quite a few). It’s really easy to read and organized in a great way with the shortcuts cross-referenced in each chapter. Lots of great examples to give you a real leg up in your learning about the genre. Fantastic for writers wanting to break into the Film and TV [music] market. I submitted a song to several pitches this past week and got a nibble already from a [Film/TV Music] library in LA! I hope it converts to a placement! Thanks again Ms. Frederick !!! Well done!!!”

Cheers,

"I thoroughly recommend it to songwriters and composers alike."

“I am an instrumental composer and I do not deal with songwriting per se. However, I did purchase the book after a fellow composer recommended it to me. Let me tell you, Robin Frederick's style of writing is riveting to say the least. She had me reading the book page after page without wanting to stop. The research that went behind this book is absolutely amazing. A wealth of information backed by an extensive study of the trend. What did I gain out of it?

As I mentioned earlier, I don't write songs but now I KNOW how music supervisors and how the successful songwriters operate. The music business is after all... a business, and any business-minded musician needs to be aware of the 'bigger' picture. Robin Frederick's book effortlessly shares the facts about writing and pitching songs for Film and TV. I thoroughly recommend it to songwriters AND composers alike.”

“Highly Recommended”

“This is an amazing blueprint full of well thought out action steps for songwriting for this niche market and for the overall craft. Robin really spells out how to insert and create mood and emotion into your songs, how to be found most easily, and a wealth of other great stuff. Highly recommended. I've read almost everything out there on song craft, and this is among the best of the best.”

My Personal Guarantee

I know it feels like there are fewer and fewer things you can trust or believe in these days. I don’t want you to feel like that about Robin’s book. I want you to know that I personally stand behind it, and I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.

That’s how strongly I believe that you’ll be able to transform your songwriting before you finish the first few pages—it’s that good!

And that’s another cool thing I love about this book: reading it will help you know how to make your songs AND instrumentals more desirable… almost irresistible to music supervisors!
