What are the basic prerequisites for becoming a composer?

What you should have when you learn to compose.

To love life, experience life, be good at observing life, have a certain knowledge of music theory, be good at learning various languages, have a considerable literary foundation, and of course, the most important thing is to be interested in what is written.

Understand the notes and understand **.

Composition is a difficult subject.

The ** theoretical discipline is in the ** study.

Bai-in is basically the leading position du

The deans of the previous ** academies can be said to be composed professionals, and this is because of the wide range of composition expertise.

To truly become a composer, one must go through rigorous training. At present, the compulsory courses for students of the composition department of ** college are: basic music theory, composition techniques, harmony, orchestration, polyphony, and form analysis. Elective courses include Chinese and Western History, Introduction to Nationalities, etc.

Speaking of inspiration, this is a necessary condition for a good composer. But when I was in college, my mentor once said something that struck me very much, he said, "You are not qualified to talk about inspiration now, and you will only know what inspiration is until you have mastered all the basics of composition."

First of all, you have to become a BAI composer;

First of all, yours has a certain amount of art

Cultivation, no matter what kind of song it is, the content of the dao is very elegant, can you successfully express what you say with the right notes? Or can you resonate with your audience? Joy is happiness; Secondly, of course, you have to like **;

Finally, it is necessary to recognize the score. Hehe.

First, the most common is the operation of brokerage companies, helping singers to send eps, hyping on the Internet, increasing attention, or pushing singers to some TV or online programs Second, there are a lot of **app or**There is a live night singing broadcast, many people choose to sing and interact with netizens to get attention Third, Weibo, etc. can open a ** person column to publish their own songs Fourth, this way is very rare now, that is, to sell songs, But if you just write something yourself, no one knows that you basically can't be bought, because there are too many people who write lyrics and compose music now, and there are countless famous ones, and they have a lot of production, so this is only a small possibility Fifth, if a singer has some performance opportunities, such as singing in a bar or theater for a period of time, he has accumulated a certain number of fans, he can consider opening a small special performance to increase his fans and attention, so as to promote his song Sixth, Non-professional singers are usually petty and difficult to be known by the public, and they don't need to think too much about this issue at all, their resources are readily available, just like a person who studies finance must be familiar with his own field and accumulate resources and contacts in the process of learning.

The basics of composition are introduced below:

Composition is a method of expressing the creator's thoughts by using the technical theory system of basic music theory, harmony renting scum, polyphony, orchestration, and music structure. There are two basic requirements:

1. Melody: Melody, the basic element of melody. Usually refers to a sequence with pitch organization and rhythm.

2. Melody: Melody is a general term for singing, expressing a certain ** idea or main melody. It refers to the organized, rhythmic and harmonious movement of several **sounds formed by artistic conception. Commonly known as "tune".

Melody is an important medium for the audience to obtain ** content. The performance of the content depends on the overall sound effect. However, people with low literacy can only pay attention to the presence of tunes.

Actually, the content is obtained from the overall sound and lyrics, if there are lyrics. Regardless of the lyrics and singer, the melody itself has almost no ** content.

Traditional composition composition:

1. Harmony. <>

Harmony is the study of the longitudinal arrangement and transverse connection of sounds. Only with harmony can the sound become full, harmonious, and beautiful. Harmony acoustics has a lot of content and many rules, and it is not easy to learn well.

But mastering the basics of harmony is the most beneficial, and it's worth a try. Tonality and sound are the most important compositional technical theories for creating tonality.

2. Functional harmony.

It was originally "traditional harmony", "Western harmony", "Western traditional harmony", etc. Theories and techniques summarized in practice by European composers of Baroque, Classicism, and Romanticism.

The function and acoustics of the major and minor key systems are very important and can be said to be the basis of all composition theory, and many composers have made outstanding contributions to function and acoustics. Here is a brief introduction to some important basic concepts and terminology of functional harmony.

3. Chords. The combination of three or more tones (including three notes) with different pitches and names is called a chord. The chords used in functional harmony are generally third-degree overlapping chords.

A chord is established on the basis of a note to a high register, and this tone is called a "root". A chord with a bass note is called a chord in place, and a chord with a bass note is called a transposition chord.

4. Three chords.

A chord consisting of three notes formed by the overlapping of the root note twice in a third is called a third chord. The third chord is the most basic chord that makes up the function of a chord. Structurally, the basic triads are "major triads", "minor triads", "increased triads" and "minus triads".

Each triad has two inflections.

When the third note is a low tone, it is the first inversion (also called "sixth chord", which is named after the intervalal relationship between the root note and other chord tones after the chord is transposed), and when the fifth note is a low tone, it is the second inversion (also called "fourth and sixth chord").

Writing songs and arranging music are two different things.

The arrangement is based on the existing ** work, and the creation is carried out. or to expand, or to configure chords, or to orchestrate, etc.

Solid foundation is required, harmony theory, etc.

And writing a song is to write down the melody in your mind and form a work. You don't need too advanced ** theory to write a song. You can also have a solid foundation, and after years of training, write a song that will be famous through the ages.

Writing songs refers to the main principles, does it not include arranging, others arranging music with me, it is difficult to write it down, and I am not inspired to record it?

Little brother, is the main reason not to include arranging, and it is difficult for others to go out with me? Write down your inspiration.

1.**Motivation. This is also the most important, **motivation needs inspiration, which will run throughout**, changing various forms and appearing repeatedly. A good motive can hold up the whole piece.

2.Curved structure. The motive is a specific melody, and the structure of the song is also a large framework. Before composing, you must first have a general imagination of the structure you want to write, and you can't trust the horses and build a shelf, so that you can have an overall grasp.

3.Tonality. Once you have all of this, you need to get ready to compose the music, and then you need to know what key you want to write, major.

Or minor, whether to transpose in the middle, near or far relation. Different tonal colors are completely different.

1. To read music, at least learn simple music first. 2 4 beats is the easiest.

2. Learn another kind of musical instrument that you think is the best to learn, the instrument can inspire you to swim in the creation, and it can also supplement your flaws in rhythm. It's easy to get out of tune when you first learn simple notation.

3. Now you can go to the bookstore to find some basic music theory books, a lot, go to the bookstore Chunyuan to see. I basically understand the process of composing songs. At this point, you're a beginner.

4. Continue your studies.

1 Music Theory. At least you have to be able to read and write notation, right? At least you know what's going on with the tonality, right? Wait a minute... It's all music theory.

2. Harmony. At least you know what kind of harmony should be matched with the melody of a song, right? You know which tones to match with which melodies, and what kind of melodies are good, right?

3. Matching method. At least it is scientific to know how to match various musical instruments, right?

4. Musical instrument method. At the very least, you need to know how to play a variety of instruments. You may not be able to play, but at least you need to know how they play and what it should look like.

5. To play an instrument, you must have at least a little piano foundation, otherwise, you can only use the mouse to click when doing MIDI.

Hope it helps.

Music theory, then inspiration, and over time, experience accumulates.
