Simple question today: Who is still alive and kicking half way through this week?

Composition focus: Introduce instability. Now, choose a note that feels like it strongly wants to resolve back to home. Example tension notes (in C): B, F, or D Write a phrase that leans on that note. Example: G – A – B – B – A Pause on the tension. Don’t resolve yet. This is the emotional peak.

How is everyone this monday morning? How was your weekend? Each week we work toward something, whether it be the weekend, completing a task/project, or really just surviving one more week. What is it that your working on this week?

Move Away from Home Composition focus: Create motion. Today, your job is to leave home. Write a short phrase that: - starts on home - moves away - does NOT resolve back yet Example: C – D – E – F – G End on a note that feels unfinished. If it feels slightly uncomfortable, you’re doing it right. The unfinished phrase will feel like its leading you somewhere.

Choose Your Home (Key Center) Composition focus: Establish tonality. Pick one note to be home. This note should feel stable, like the music could stop there and feel complete. Example: Home note = C Play or write a short idea that starts and ends on C Example notes: C – E – G – E – C Don’t worry about rhythm yet. Just make home feel obvious.
