Top tips for composing

  • There is more to life than C major…�Use different keys! (appropriately)�
  • Think: is what you are writing playable on your instrument? Is it stylistically appropriate?�
  • Be realistic: write for instruments that you understand.�
  • Above all… be musical: look at pieces that you play (and other compositions) for inspiration.
