Description

This video is a tutorial for the  music student. Especially those who became music composers.I focused on musical terms and  basic content of melody writing.

How to compose and write tune on the stave.

Staff notation, as it has developed, is essentially a graph.

In music theory, musical notation is a series of symbols and markings that inform musicians how to perform a composition.

Advantage:

1) It will be far easier to memorize music.

2) You’ll be able to write your own compositions

3) It can make it much easier to play music in groups

4) It could help you to expand your musical diversity

5) How to start writing tune and how to use dynamics to make the sound more interesting.

In a way, you can consider learning to read sheet music to be fairly similar to learning a new language. Once you’re able to read and understand the notes that you’re supposed to be playing on any particular piece, you can also rewrite them or create your own, which will allow you to communicate your ideas in a universal musical language that many other musicians can read and follow. If you can learn to read and write the notes you want to play, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to share your music with others.

I hope you will learn to write melody by the end of the lecture.
