Music
Improvisation
@
Wikipedia
Musical
improvisation
is
the
spontaneous
creative
process
of
making
music
while
it
is
being
performed.
Improvisation
exists
in
almost
all
music,
but
is
closely
associated
with
particular
genres
such
as
blues,
jazz,
bluegrass,
the
Taqsim
of
Arabic
and
Turkish
music,
Indonesian
gamelan,
and
Indian
classical
music.
To
use
a
linguistic
analogy,
improvisation
is
like
speaking
or
having
a
conversation
as
opposed
to
reciting
a
written
text.
Among
jazz
musicians
there
is
an
adage,
"improvisation
is
composition
speeded
up,"
and
vice
versa,
"composition
is
improvisation
slowed
down."

| "Welcome to the "cyber text" of American popular music. Where
interactive
hypertext redefines our explorations of the "tonal resources" that
create
the musical sounds we love. From folk song to the blues, towards jazz
and
into pop, rock and classical, the cybertext creates a "3d" learning
environment,
inclusive of all the sounds we dig. Exploring from the organic sources
of sound and pitch to the brightest creative musical stars in our
musical universe who shape them, our cyber text allows for a wholeness
of
learning
directed by our own interests, passions and curiosities of the music we
love."

Noteflight.com
"Noteflight was founded
with the vision of making it simple for everyone to create and share
musical ideas online. We started by building a place where individuals
could create, view, hear and print musical scores. We established a
community where our users could invite others to view, collaborate and
comment. We discovered that music educators and instructors were
excited about what we were doing, so we developed Noteflight Learning
Edition. We are constantly finding new opportunities in partnering with
others. And as we continue learning about new ways that people are
using Noteflight, we are constantly introducing new features."

How To Compose Piano

Start with the melody - What is your song
about? - Want an intro?

style - Build slowly, but build
something Mistakes count

its way - Get a tape recorder

Bjorn
Lynne's music composition and production tips
Welcome
to my page of "hints, tricks and tips" when composing and producing
your
own music. This page is simply a result of "public demand", as a
lot of people write to me and ask for tips about writing their own
music
| It's actually quite strange that I should write this kind of
stuff
- as I have no formal music education, neither in composition nor in
production.
So the cynics out there may perhaps say that I haven't got a clue what
I'm talking about. And they are right!" |
