how do i get better

i

i) keep working at composing; study the music of composers you like; ii) keep practising the piano. While you don't have to play piano to compose, most composers play at least a little.

What genre do you like to compose?

M

Listen to different styles of music and study some scores to learn some technique and application

lol. wtf cmaj????

Sound advice, Ceresz, montpellier, and bob.

I agree. I think studying scores is very important. Try to glean everything you can from the masters.

Also - push yourself out of your comfort zone.

STEAL EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON!!!!!

That is to say, you like something Bach does in the Brandenburg? Use it.

You like something Ravel does in Daphne? Use it.

And so on....

Hmm, you'll learn some ravishing orchestration from Daphnis and Chloe........but don't expect to reproduce it on a sampling machine or midi!

I find that skill comes with experience. If you keep working, you'll eventually find what you like and what you don't. . . so, yeah!
