SkillShare A Practical Guide to Music Expression Exploring Your Creative Potential [TUTORiAL]

This course was designed to help you find your own musical voice, how to plan your musical composition and how to use your current music theory knowledge without losing sight of your natural musical instincts in the process. Whether you are starting out, a semi-pro musician or an enthusiast, this course was thought out to help you overcome the difficulties of implementing your musical ideas in a way that actually expresses your intents, without being dominated by the music and instead you dominate the flow of musical events you are creating, in whatever the genre you are composing. The focus of this course is not in music theory, since this is not its purpose, and also because I assume that you already have a basic knowledge of things like scales or chords. Instead, we will be looking at how we can use contexts, images, ideas, emotions to give us hints on how we can use the various musical elements to express ourselves in our music compositions. And, of course, to have fun making music. You will find videos explaining the basics so that what you can follow through the specially made music examples that illustrate the main ideas behind this course. In the last video, you will be prompted to engage in a project assignment, where you will have the opportunity to apply everything you know and learned. 5 Videos (42m): 1. Introduction: Giving Meaning to Your Music 2. Getting to Know the Musical Elements 3. Case Study 4. Case Study 2 5. Conclusion and Project Assignment
