montpellier Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumababa Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm my own Toccata Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
