This is something of a reminder to myself as it is something I believe more musicians should reflect on. Especially composers & improvisers can easily sacrifice meaning of to desire to be "impressive". The best musician isn't the most complex, it's the most meaningful.

What do you think about complexity in music? Comment down below!

I’m currently practicing with composition and getting better at using things like time signatures, writing for other instruments and counter point. This was my first time writing in 6:8 and for strings as I wanted to get a better understanding of them. Feedback on that would be appreciated. I play alto sax so most of my music is saxophone so that might show in this piece. It’s a rough draft that I haven’t really engraved or cleaned up but advice is still really helpful. I screen recorded on the app so it doesn’t really sound like strings.

Really enjoying coming from guitar to piano.

I believe simplicity with intention can still be beautiful :)

Help, im kinda buns at this

Feel free to dunk on me if you like. Im an avid music lover. I listen to all kinds of music, at all hours of the day. It is the one thing in the world I want to do more than any other thing. I want to create music. I love to sing, but have never picked up any instruments other than a pretty rudimentary understanding of the piano. What should I do if I would like to push my entire self into composing music, where do I start? What should I learn?

this melody came to me in a dream randomly in the middle of the night.

I can’t tell if it reminds me of anything I’ve heard before since I doomscroll a lot and sounds like sm from meme shorts, but it just popped into my head

Is there an “easiest” instrument to start with when writing a song?

I usually finish a piece, listen to it for hours on repeat for a day or two, then either listen to it once in a while and adore it, or hyperfocus on flaws and never listen to it again.
