Hello,

How does one go from a melody and chords to a full orchestrated master piece. I always know what I want my pieces to sound like but I almost never am able to achieve what I want. Any suggestions?

    You forgot 'talent'. Oh, and mind-altering drugs. They always help. ;)

    But no really, all it takes is firm commitment to the music you want to write, and a lot of work. Good luck!
