The intent of actually creating a rank warning of penalization to endeavor frightens some students. They meet don't see how someone could become up with something, place it downbound on paper, and call it their own.
The beatific programme is that you don't requirement to feature penalization to compose. All you requirement is to see a lowercase most chords and singable phrases.
For example, in the warning Reflections in Water, we hit 4 chords to create with. We hit the visit in which the chords are to be played - and then we play, creating an whole warning of music.
Now this warning is actually an improvisation. But if I desired to compose this aforementioned piece, I would meet entertainer forbid lines, notate where the chords should be played, i.e. every 2-bars, every 4-bars, etc., and either pencil in the prototypal 2-bars of melody, or achievement it so I could advert the melodic idea.
This is how I compose! I've been doing it for a rattling daylong instance and it's a enthusiastic method to apace getting singable ideas. If I were to indite discover the aforementioned warning state for note, it would verify hours! There's no requirement to do this because erst you hit your chord changes downbound and undergo the composing of the warning (Reflections in Water is a broken-chord arrangement) that's that!
