Course Project

You will be creating your own 8 bar (minimum) chord progression and melody that belong to a minor key. Please attach a link to a YouTube video, SoundCloud upload (or any other media platform of your choice) and describe to me the key you chose and what techniques really helped you to complete the project effectively.

Even if you have never written your own music before, you will be able to partake in the course project and complete an 8 bar chord progression with a melody that fits in a minor key. I look forward to teaching you and hearing your music creations!. Grab your instrument and jump right in.
