Today we're talking about my favorite musical form, the Sentence!

Learning this form helped me to compose music by allowing me to write melodies and themes with a good shape and satisfying arc. Learn how to write a melody using the Sentence form to improve your composition, songwriting, and film scoring.
So many books on form talk about the Period as if it's the only way to structure a melody, but if you look at real music you quickly realize that that's not the case. Thanks to Arnold Schoenberg and William Caplin, we have a powerful form that is concise, easy to understand and use, and full of potential for writing great music for film, video...

Using Sequence when Composing Music - Music Composition
How to use sequence as a compositional tool to expand a musical idea. This music composition begins with a simple four note idea. It then shows you how to build these four notes into a 16 bar piece using melodic and harmonic sequence. The video also shows how to decorate the essential sequential idea, when to break from the sequence, and when to reinstate it. Useful for those wanting to understand how sequences work, and to composers wanting to use sequences in their writing.

In this lesson for beginners, I will teach you how to write your first song. Learning to write music also known as music composition is a good skill to have, even as a singer or instrumentalist. I find that knowing how to play piano is the most useful since it is easy to visualize the chords and melody. After the lesson, you should check out these videos which will help you better understand chord progressions and key signatures.
Get the notes and relevant videos for this lesson: https://www.pianolessonsontheweb.com/firstsong.html
Before we write our song, we will review some important topics such as melody, harmony, chords, chord progressions, and some of the basic rules of writing music. There is obviously a lot more to writing music than what is covered in the lesson, but this is a great first lesson for those who have limited experience with composition. Remember that a melody is read from left to right (the part of the song you recognize and hum to yourself), and harmony is the supporting chords and is read up and down. A scale tells you all of the notes that exist in a key. You can build chords on each note of the scale, so you have 7 unique chords just like you have 7 unique notes in a scale. The combination of chords you use is known as a chord progression. One of the most common chords progressions when making a song is I, IV , V, I.

How to use sequence as a compositional tool to expand a musical idea. This music composition begins with a simple four note idea. It then shows you how to build these four notes into a 16 bar piece using melodic and harmonic sequence. The video also shows how to decorate the essential sequential idea, when to break from the sequence, and when to reinstate it. Useful for those wanting to understand how sequences work, and to composers wanting to use sequences in their writing.
