Se você não escreveu muitas, ou nenhuma, música, este curso lhe mostrará um processo eficiente e eficaz para compor músicas para expressas suas ideias e emoções. Se você já compôs, olhará o processo com outros olhos, tendo o controle de aspectos do processo que você pode não ter percebido.
Este curso iniciará examinando as ferramentas que estão disponíveis, tudo girando em torno do conceito essencial de prosódia. Você aprenderá a usar suas ferramentas para melhorar sua mensagem - a trabalhar na composição ao mesmo tempo em que desenvolve suas ideias.
Você trabalhará tanto na música como com a letra, ainda que para trabalhar com a música não seja necessário que você saiba ler partituras ou tocar um instrumento. Se você toca, ótimo, e você será encorajado a tocar e gravar suas produções musicais das tarefas. Se você não toca, o curso lhe oferecerá diversas faixas musicais para utilizar. Tudo que você terá que fazer é cantar suas melodias sobre as faixas.
As tarefas solicitarão que você faça postagens para avaliação dos colegas - às vezes trechos ou seções de letras, às vezes melodias, às vezes ambos. Nenhum deles precisa de acabamento. O curso é sobre composição, não sobre interpretação.
E o mais importante de tudo, você se divertirá muito.
