Using Artificial Intelligence to Facilitate Creative and Therapeutic Songwriting

Abstract

Songwriting has been used in music education and music therapy to facilitate learning about musical form, elements, creative expression, expressing emotions in a socially acceptable way, and healing from a challenging past. This study focuses on using AI to help songwriters express what they want to say in their lyrics by generating ideas, finding rhyming words, metaphors and synonyms, creating rhythmic patterns, melodies and harmonies, and getting feedback from others to refine their original work.
