How to Write Christmas Songs (Day 3: Rhythm & Time Signature)

Are you ready for some crazy Christmas fun? Good, cos December is gonna be a wild ride here at the Revolution Harmony studio, as we'll be doing daily Hack Music Theory videos. Yeah!!!

So, here's our Christmas challenge to ourselves: It's kinda like a music theory advent calendar, where we'll be writing a Christmas song over the next few weeks, and teaching you the music theory and songwriting hacks we use along the way!

Okay, now click play above and get stuck into Day 3's video, where we teach you how to give your lyric hook a rhythm and time signature, then put it into MIDI in your DAW's piano roll. But first... tea!

Remember to subscribe and click the bell to get notifications, so you don't miss out on any of our daily videos, teaching you how to write a Christmas song.

Lastly, if you'd like us to teach you how to write great songs from start to finish, then join our online apprenticeship program at Patreon.com/RevolutionHarmony (select ARTIST tier).

We really hope you dig our new music theory lesson, and if you wanna get your hands on all the vital theory hacks you need to write great songs, then please download our Hack Music Theory for Songwriting & Producing PDF (click & scroll down).

Thank you for being brave and committing to make the world a better place through better music. Until next week, happy songwriting & producing!
