work work and work

So far I've been composing small pieces yet I havent been able to find a nice way to combine all of them together.
In class for google day Katie Chang helped me record my short theme song for the poem "Traveling in the Dark" by William Stafford. I will be posting the recorded video and a copy of the poem shortly.

google day

today i focused on what scales im planning to use for my composition. i want to focus on minot scales to enhance the slow and sad mood. also to help with my composition skills im planning to use a poem (william stafford's probably) and try to compose a short piece that fits the words. hopefully that will improve my skills and help me gain a little snippet of what its like to compose a piece ;)

one step forward!!

I talked to my flute teacher last week and I decided to compose a flute solo. Im working on pentatonic scales. My objective is to compose a slow song and incorporate a whispy and mysterious feel with my flute by blowing less air into the instrument and instead sending the air out. Hopefully this technique can make the song a bit more dramatic yet soothing

I'm planning to work with my Flute teacher to compose a song. I haven't decided which instrument, but I know that I'm interested in composing music.
