Welcome to Muse & Measure — a channel devoted to the art, craft, and soul of songwriting, where melody meets meaning and every chord tells a story. Hosted by songwriter and educator Tyler Burba, this space explores both the technical craft and spiritual essence of creating songs that move people.

Here, we dive deep into the craft of songwriting — from lyric writing and melodic development to chord progressions, harmony, rhythm, and musical storytelling. You’ll learn how to write better lyrics, build stronger melodies, reharmonize songs, and tap into the creative process that transforms raw inspiration into finished music.

Alongside practical lessons, we also explore the philosophy and psychology of songwriting — the inner life of the artist, the dance between structure and spontaneity, and how music becomes a form of emotional alchemy and spiritual expression. Topics include identity, memory, heartbreak, transformation, and the sacred role of songs as witnesses to the human journey.
