Lesson on Composition
Well your lessons may be to learn the basics of piano playing but I was wondering if you could do a lesson on composition. I'd really appreciate it.

Re: Lesson on Composition
I actually do think this is both possible and impossible. Because it's more like writing a book than memorize a book.
A book usually have 3 parts, beginning, middle and end. When you know that and know the alphabet and rules about where to use this and that you can start write.
To compose is like writing a book, first you'll have to know scales, what key is what key, and how to read a sheet. Then you'll just use your imagination. But i'm sure Andrew can explain alittle about themes etc. and how different pieces are built up. And what's makes a classical piece a choral or fugue etc.

Yes knowing scales and things really helps because you know what sounds initial and what sounds secondary but I wanted a lesson on how to make something simple extravagant or at least a full piece of music.
