A remarkably practical guide to composing for beginners that teaches you how to write music by diving in and doing it Aimed at those who have some knowledge of music but not formal training in composition, this concise introduction to composing starts right in with a brief composition exercise, then proceeds step by step through a series of increasingly complex and challenging problems, gradually expanding the student's musical grammar. The book includes blank music score pages for you to use for exercises and experiments. In addition to covering various styles of contemporary music, including both pop and classical genres, Composing Music addresses the challenge of setting words to music, writing minimalist compositions, and more. Composing Music is the perfect introduction to writing music of all sorts for engaged beginners.
