The process of songwriting entails many different tasks. Songwriters typically write the lyrics and put melodies on it. They may also need to make tracks to back the music. This entails knowing how to play keyboards, drums, guitars and other instruments. They may also have to collaborate with other songwriters, composers and singers in creating a single song. After writing the songs and putting the melody to it, songwriters then produce demos of it. This is a recording of the song that the songwriter will use to be able to pitch the material to music publishers, producers or singers.
