Description

The main goal of the course is to teach the student, through a clear methodology based on professional experience of the instructor, the steps from the moment he has a musical idea until he completes the musical arrangements. You will get a well balanced and satisfactory final song. The course will deal with topics such as musical and harmonic structure, use of different musical instruments and their frequency range, balanced interaction of the different elements, etc.

All the principles and concepts will be explained by studying an instructor's song. We will start on the basis of an initial planning to know each of the stages followed in the search for a satisfactory result.

These explanations will be accompanied by illustrations, along with the corresponding musical fragments. Likewise,  we will share useful resources for this task, such as what virtual instruments are, etc.

Each of the lecture is complemented, either by a task guided by means of indications and questions, or by resources that may be of interest to deepen the main topic of that lesson.

Finally, interesting resources will be shared to improve the learning of musical arrangements as well as conclusions in the form of tips to guide the student in the profession of composing and arranging their own songs.

Who this course is for:

  • Students with creative musical concerns.
