Music composition for beginners
“Thank you very much for trusting me and Domestika. It is an honor that you will take this course with us and if you got this far I am sure that it is the beginning of a lot of music that you will be able to make and enjoy. Now you are more than ready to carry out your projects and make your ideas a reality. As a project for the course you will have to create a song from scratch. To do this, you'll need to record several musical ideas in a simple way (you can do it with your cell phone) and then choose your favorite to start with. Then take this idea to your DAW, record your voice imitating instruments, beats or whatever comes to mind to get an idea of structure and instrumentation. Next, replace the sounds you recorded with your voice with the instruments you imagined, or explore various libraries until you find a sound you like replacing your voice with. Remember that you don't always have to replace it - sometimes vocal samples work too. Think about structure and arrangement, build dynamics, and make your song more interesting by adding details that differentiate the different parts. Finally, get ready to finalize your song, create a release plan, explore different distribution platforms, and share your creation with the entire planet!
