Piano Question of the Month
About Composing: How to Compose a SongHi, I found your composing lessons really helpful. It was pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks for posting them.I have a question that might sound stupid but it has been bouncing inside my head for a while. So how do I turn this about 10 second’s melody into an average duration song (3-4 min)? I mean without keep repeating same notes and chords to get boring or keep adding new notes? Do I make any sense? Anyway, it would be cool if u could post some tips and tricks on arranging a full song like adding a bridge and stuff, what to do and what not to do and so on.
