BBC Education

This morning an article I contributed to for BBC Education on behalf of The Ivors Academy was published! Chuffed to have been able to be a part of this. It’s a fascinating piece on how songs are constructed in commercial pop, and how things have changed in the last few years. There’s also a contribution from Songwriting Studies Simon Barber. Give it a read and let me know what you think!
