What  Is  Music  Composition?   



Musical composition  is that golden moment when your piece of music is felt complete , as a living being.  And then you honor it and us by commiting it to notation.  It becomes part of your gift to lovers of music. 


Wikipedia has a great presentation of what music is.  When you achieve a natural feel and grasp of the aspects of music,  deep and personal music happens.  It often takes courage to give yourself to the music and to us.  Always trust your intuition and honesty of emotions.  As much as possible, keep your performance skills at their best so that you can reach those peaks of emotion when they happen. 


Music Improvisation  is the free play of musical ideas.  Improv can be based on chord progressions of a tune.  Repeating melodic, harmonic patterns create unity.  Lyrics invite you to tell  a story.  Rhythmic offers compelling forward movement.  Music genres create a feeling or tonal character your listeners know and bond with.  Improvising music is personal, in the moment, following your creative bliss.  Unity comes naurally to you as you deep listen to what's happening.  Create variations, reharmonize,  introduce new rhythm elements.  Explore high and low registers of your instrument.  Silences can be very powerful.  Wrong notes create melodic and harmonic tension taking you to unexpected places.  Love your audience.  Let them draw out of you a performance we'll all remember!
