Assignment 8: Compose Your Bridge

The last section of your song that is a requirement is the bridge. You will add this on to the song project that also has you verse and chorus.

The bridge section should sound different than the rest of the song because it is used to give variety, a fresh perspective, and serves to connect two parts of a song. This means that you should have:


* A different beat (or no beat)

* A different chord progression

* A different melody


Review examples and attributes of a bridge here.

Once you have finished with you bridge section, please download and attach an Mp3 of the project to the Google Classroom assignment. I made a tutorial video on how to do that here: https://bit.ly/2FSpJJQ

Check your verse, chorus, and bridge sections to make sure the chord progressions are in C (Major) or Am (minor). If they are in a different key, you will need to transpose them to C or Am (cousins who share the same notes). To review how to transpose, go here.

If your melodies sound off, try quantizing and/or adjusting notes in the piano roll. To review those steps, go here.
