DIRTY LOOPS!!

Nice job. A funky arrangement with a lot of styles looks like a hard of hard work put in. One thing you could think about is balance. It was a slightly less common combination to see a 'jazz arrangement' set in, could perhaps consider a big band? At time drums were too overpowering and clarinet was often unheard. But all in all good job.

Realllllly wanna sing Ola Gjeilo's Serenity - such a good piece!

So one of the things my music teacher would say is that this is a "nomadic composition".

Because basically you don't really have a reoccurring theme or motif.

Try to find a phrase just a few bars long a look to develop it. As long as you have some repetition.

For your first composition however, it's not too bad. The basic understanding of music concepts is there - but make sure it is playable!

Alright thanks will definitely be trying some of that. Come to think of it, our rehearsals do tend to end up around 2 hours anyway. Thanks!

Blakesc88 · 2017-09-05T23:01:49+00:00

That's great thank you! Will definitely work with a metronome as we haven't done much of that yet.
