On Songwriting in Northern Sami
Literature on songwriting in Northern Sami have been scarce. Thanks to kind support from the Sami Parliament and the Norrbotten County Council the first book in the Black Belt book series, Songwriting, Get Your Black Belt in Music & Lyrics, by Swedish authors Johan Wahlander and Jan Sparby, is now present in a translation by Miliana Baer.

The Book
The first book in the Black Belt series deals with basic songwriting knowledge that makes a big difference for most songwriters: where to start your writing process, top down vs. bottom up songwriting, how to craft melodies, the various voicings of power chords, how you can extend the chords content of blues harmony, get the most out of your diatonic chords, how to work well together with other people, and much more. Also, the book features interviews with songwriters and people from the business, and gives you loads of practical songwriting tips. It exemplifies from a broad range of genres.
 
The Authors
People all around the world are wondering what is in the Swedish drinking water. Swedish songwriters are so influential that music magazines and bloggers talk about them as the new rulers of the pop charts. The authors are writing their book series from a vantage point. Not only have they interviewed their songwriting colleagues from all over the world, they are also teaching songwriting and music theory at college level themselves, and have degrees in composition, music theory and music production from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden. They have experience, deep knowledge and a wonderful ability to explain, and make things easy to understand. 
Take your craftsmanship and artistry serious, and bring out the very best in your own creativeness and ideas for songs. Rise from your current level in songwriting to black belt mastery.
