What makes a good melody?
2023-08-06 03:00 - 03:30
Please make every effort to attend this event as it premieres. I may do future videos based on compositions from this community based on attendance, and feedback. But if no one from this community attends, I can't get good feedback. The video is for my Saturday night (11PM EST) so that we could account for most people in the US, and @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu who is exactly 12 hours ahead of my time who is featured in this video.

2nd Youtube Premiere: The intricacies of Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique
2023-04-29 20:00 - 20:30
Come join me on live chat where I talk about scoring the intro to Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique using Music Jotter. I may turn this into a series, but I mainly am trying to educate the community on the "power of the tuplet". There are various reasons to use the tuplet, and I talk about why Beethoven used it in his introduction. So if you want to find out why he used them in his rhythmically complex introduction, be sure to click "Notify Me" and subscribe!

Ladies and gentlemen, this time we are pleased to announce @Eickso's yearly big competition "Call for scores".

Let's go straight to the point, the prizes given to the winners of this competition are really something!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Your works must have NOT been premiered more than 5 times. (If that's the case but you still want to participate, please contact with @Eickso)

• You must submit 2 of your best representative works (score & audio) along a 500-word proposal* on why you are interested on this opportunity. They must NOT be anonymous. They do not need to be newly creations.

• You must submit your works ONLY THROUGH THIS FORM.

PRIZES:

You will be hired to make a unique composition for the Möbius duo which will be premiered. For doing so, you will be given:

• 1st winner: $500

• 2nd winner: $400

• 3rd winner: $300

♫ Every winner will be given a product key for Finale v27 and Noteperformer 3.

♫ Every commissioned piece will be featured in George N. Gianopoulos' channel.

♫ More information: LINK

♫ Original post at YC: LINK

Encouraging everyone to join. Almost no restrictions, a bunch of prizes... What else can you ask for?

Many thanks to Evan and the team behind for hosting this competition and giving composers a very attractive opportunity!

Footnotes:

*From the official site: The proposal should cover an introduction of yourself, why this opportunity would be beneficial to you and your career, and any other information you find important. You may optionally include a small section regarding any specific ideas you have for a piece you would write for the Möbius Duo.

This should be most focused on why this opportunity would be beneficial for you. We are looking for deserving composers who have not received the recognition they deserve, so this is really your chance on the application to sell yourself!

My First Youtube Premiere
2023-04-01 20:00 - 20:30
I know this is last minute, but I decided to make my first Youtube video a premiere (which just means it will play as if it were live, and we can chat on the live chat feature while the video plays). I would like you all to attend if you can. The reason is because I am going to start integrating Music Jotter with Young Composers, and the two audiences are going to meet! What this means for our community is that we are going to benefit from my Youtube channel's promotions. I may even consider doing Youtube review "premieres" on selected works depending on if my Youtube channel grows in popularity.

My premiere starts on Saturday April 1, 2023 at 4:00PM EST

Sign up here: Facebook Event

Click "notify me" here: Link to my very first Youtube video

Please subscribe to my channel if you want to see me do more of these premieres, especially around music reviews from the forum. I can also create more content around:

Music Appreciation

Composition Tips

Notation tutorials using Music Jotter

What else?

See you tomorrow!
