About this service

Composition is the process of writing a new piece of music. Students make up the melody, the chords, the form (the "plot" of the musichow it unfolds in time) and everything else. Every student's inspiration is differentsome start with a melody, some with a chord progression, some with just an emotion or idea they want to express. Students and Nick will work together to come up with steps to turn it into a complete piece of music. Music theory is the technical side of composition. Notes themselves dont have inherent emotion, but music theory shows us how they are put together to make extremely moving pieces of music. This helps advanced students understand the language of the music theyre performingand, as with any other language, when they understand what theyre saying, they can say (play) it with more conviction and individuality.
