When you write music down you may need to draw the TREBLE CLEF and the BASS CLEF. Watch a video HERE to show you how.
Put on your magician's hat.
Decide on your magical ingredients:
RHYTHM and TIME SIGNATURE
NOTES and SCALES
MAGIC TRICKS (Repetition, sequencing, retrograde, totally different)
Mix it in your CAULDRON and HEY PRESTO! A magical composition!
Start SIMPLE!
Remember you can
REPEAT ideas
SEQUENCE ideas (play the same pattern but a note or two higher or lower)
RETROGRADE ideas (play them backwards)
REPEAT MOST of an idea but just change the end.
