Arranging / Compostion Help

Hi

I have some bars of music I have written which I would like to make into an arrangement / song.

I need some help on how to do this.

Foe example how long should a phrase be? What kind of structure do I need to layout, what sections do I need in an arrangement?

Please can you help??

Many Thanks

Your post is a bit vague I'm afraid.

Arrangement for what instrument(s)? What kind of music is this?

There is no rule for how long a phrase should be. You said you already have some bars written down. Follow that. Arrangements can have any kind of structure. Asking what kind of structure an arrangement has to have is like asking what key should a piano piece be in.

I guess im trying find a good starting point to build on.

I am look at more of a classical feel, not like a modern song ie intro verse chorus etc. Does that help :veryunsure:

For what instrument(s)? You already have a starting point: the bars of music you said you have written. What do you have so far?

some bars on classical guitar.

Is it write to say that you would compose for one instrument then add accompanying instruments next?

I'm afraid what you're asking is to be taught how to create, something that cannot be done. I could point you towards several books that would help, but the best thing is probably to buy a Spotify day pass and LISTEN to as much classical music as possible. Then do the same the next day (possibly subscribing to Spotify or buying records might be a better option actually) and keep doing this until you have a basic understanding of how the elements of a composition are put together and you can make your own. Then post it in the forum to get criticism.
