When writing a song there is a standard structure that is used. This structure is varied but basically it is like the following:
Introduction ( usually instrumental 4 to 8 bars)
Verse (Singing starts. Many times it is the same chords as the Intro or Chorus 8 to 12 bars)
Segway ( small instrumental section 2 to 4 bars - builds to next section)
Chorus (Many times the name of the song. Most remembered or hooky part)
Segway
2nd Verse (tells next part of story)
Chorus
Bridge (different then all other sections-breaks up song)
Solo (guitar, sax or piano)
Chorus
Outro (variation on Intro)
Now transpose
these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to
all 15 keys.
