Composing Process

Tuesday 17th November

10 Music - Period 5.

What have you found challenging about the composing process?

I find that writing lyrics can sometimes be hard because I get writers block. A solution I found to this problem is to ask my fellow group members for help.

What have you composed so far? Are you happy with it?

We have written most of the lyrics. I am happy with the lyrics that our group has written.

Which part of your piece are you currently working on?

We have started work on a chord progression.

What is left to compose?

We need to finish off and polish up our second verse, and finish our chord progression.

What are your goals for your last two lessons before the performance?

We hope to finish our composition this period and use the rest of our time and practice together, in preparation for our performance in two lessons time.

2. Continue with composing, Continue with your composing process, you only have two lessons of composition time before we share our work.
