Music Composition Technique Builder, 3rd Edition : Practical Training for Composers (With Daily Routines) (Composing Music Book 2)
For Composers Who Want Greater Technique
Designed for composers who understand basic music theory, this program begins with an explanation of the creative process and proceeds to provide composers with several exercises to improve technique. Composers receive multi-level exercises designed to improve the ear and analytical ability through practical composition exercises.
Develop Composition Skill Through a Daily Practice Routine
Grab a napkin and start notating your ideas anywhere
Performers have scales, arpeggios, and repertoire to help develop technique. Studying an instrument requires a formal program of instruction that's designed to develop technique and skill. As a composer, you can also develop your technique so that when inspiration hits, you're ready to write down your ideas no matter where you are.
Inspired by Master Composer, Johann Sebastian Bach
A fugue a day for breakfast helped Bach become one of the greatest composers ever
Bach was known for his ability to create music quickly. Reportedly, he composed a composition every morning as a warm-up exercise. For composers, the old maxim of "use it or lose it" is absolutely true. The more music you compose, the better you'll become.
Developing a better overall technique requires practice. Any composer can improve, but you have to put in the work and complete challenging exercises to achieve mastery of your art. By completing time-tested exercises and developing a practice routine, you'll become a more effective composer.
