Download or read book A Practical Guide to Becoming a Composer written by Arthur J Michaels and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you like to become a better composer, advance your skills, and increase your creativity? This book can help you: Become a more skilled composer. Be a more prolific composer. Promote your work. Get your pieces performed. Publish your music. Even now, as a published, award-winning composer, if I saw this book, I'd buy it. That's because earning a high school diploma, a college degree, or even an advanced degree is a wonderful, promising achievement--I know. I did that. But the problem is: Diplomas and degrees don't guarantee that you know how to advance your skills and increase your output and success. Degrees don't ensure your continued success in today's complicated, competitive world. A degree doesn't guarantee success especially when you make major or even minor career changes. This book's huge amount of specifics makes it a valuable reference that you read, reread, and consult often. This book is a vital standalone guide for composers outside of formal learning circles and a practical supplement for composers who are studying or who have studied in classrooms. Because composing music is so varied with an enormous number of opportunities, a diverse, international group of 24 fellow composers contributed their ideas to this book. These composers work in different genres and styles. This book includes details of specific composer how-to skills, so composers and those who want to be composers get an intimate, unique view of the private professional procedures and practices of fellow composers--a perspective few composers ever see in one comprehensive source. Let this book's wealth of guidance, insights, and suggestions inspire you! Dive into this book and watch your skills, output, and success blossom!

Download or read book Understanding Basic Music Theory written by Catherine Schmidt-Jones and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of the book is to explore basic music theory so thoroughly that the interested student will then be able to easily pick up whatever further theory is wanted. Music history and the physics of sound are included to the extent that they shed light on music theory. The main premise of this course is that a better understanding of where the basics come from will lead to better and faster comprehension of more complex ideas.It also helps to remember, however, that music theory is a bit like grammar.

She is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois in the Open Online Education program with a focus in Curriculum and Instruction.

Download or read book Composing with Constraints written by Jorge Variego and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Composing with constraints proposes an innovative approach to the instruction of the craft of music composition based on tailored exercises to help students develop their creativity. The fundamental premise of Composing with constraints is based on my previous book on algorithmic composition, which-in a few words-states that all compositional approaches are algorithmic and can be reduced to a formal process that involves a series of logical steps. When composition gets condensed to a series of logical steps, it can then be taught and learned more efficiently. With this approach in mind, Composing with constraints proposes a variety of exercises in the form of algorithms to help the student composer and the instructor create tangible work plans, with high expectations and successful outcomes. The book is structured around the parameters of melody, rhythm, harmony, texture and pre-compositional approaches. All chapters start with a brief note on terminology and general recommendations for the instructor. The first five chapters offer a variety of exercises that range from analysis and style imitation, to the use of probabilities. The chapter about pre-compositional approaches offers original techniques that a student composer can implement in order to start a new work. Based on lateral thinking, this last section of the book fosters creative connections with other disciplines such as math, visual arts, and architectural acoustics. Each of the 100 exercises contained in the book proposes a unique set of guidelines and constraints intended to place the student in a specific compositional framework. Through those compositional boundaries the student is encouraged to produce creative work within a given structure. Using the methodologies in this book, students will be able to create their own outlines for their compositions, making intelligent and educated compositional choices that balance reasoning with intuition. Depending on the class in which it is adopted, Composing with constraints can be a priceless aid for the instructor. When used to complement a music theory class, the exercises can be used as compositional projects, to provide creative frameworks to the theoretical concepts studied in class and even to trigger group discussions. In a class on analysis, the book can be an invaluable tool for stylistic understanding, appropriation and imitation. Finally, when used in individual and group composition lessons, the book can provide an enormous palette of concrete assignments that the instructor can use to guide the students' compositional development and practice. The grading rubric provided in the book is an invaluable tool for both the instructor and the student. Divided in four categories (i.e. followed guidelines, orchestration, idiomatic use of the instruments and "open spaces"), the grading rules clarify in detail the grade awarded to the student, showing the aspects of the work that can be improved. Through the quantization of "open spaces", the rubric also helps the instructor ponder the students' creative use of the aspects of the exercises not constrained or left "free" in the guidelines. In sum, Composing with constraints is an excellent tool for the instruction of music composition offering clear organization, a helpful grading rubric, and a versatility that makes it applicable for a myriad of courses and levels"--
