If you’re already thinking about song dynamics as you’re composing each part of your song, then you’re giving yourself an advantage performance-wise. Are some parts going to be louder than others? Is there a need to create smooth transitions between the segments?

While most songwriters can put a melody together, very few are aware of the importance of musical dynamics. Figure out the dynamic range of each song you write as you write them, and your compositions will doubtlessly be enhanced.
