Finding your musical voice
This is a resource book for the student, the classroom teacher and the private studio teacher with suggestions to inspire creativity and music composition. I believe everyone is capable of writing music. Nick Cave when describing his song writing process stated, “The big problem with song-writing for me is starting a new song. It's the thing where all the anguish exists, not in the writing of the song, but the starting of the new song.”
A range of exercises is included so that students can explore the possibilities of sound in terms of: pitch, duration, texture, register, tone colour, and expressive techniques.
For ease of use
• Most examples and exercises are in simple keys and all exercises can be transposed to suitable keys
• Examples in treble and bass clefs are included, this will enable all students to read and connect with the information presented
• The words triad and chord are used interchangeably to describe three or more notes played together.
