I do not mind composing music. My problem comes when I have to be stuck in a box of rules and regluation to create this composition. I can see the creativity slipping through the chords only to be watterd dwn by Roman numerals and perfect authentic cadences. I really feel like just handing in a blank piece of paper saying that its a new contempory piece its called, "My Mind After This Class." The teacher is not even here today to help and talk me off this ledge.
It'll all get better by the weekend. :)
we do this all the time with young people and art-don't let them beat you down!!
ReplyDeleteTrying writing and ignoring the rules, and then see if you can cover your own work to fit within the rules. That's how I made it through theory in college.
