I uncover my creative process as a composer and how I go about writing a piece of music. While everyone is different and the process of one composer may not work with another, here’s what I do and hopefully it gives you some food for thought to use in your own process.

You can learn things from everyone and everyone can teach something to everyone. Thanks for a great video!

Woooow! This is great! I’m actually an amateur composer and you’re right, most of the time the piano is beside you when composing. Another thing is I hum a melody in my head like if I’m walking or on the train, then record that humming melody but I also use a pitch finder since I don’t have a perfect pitch. It’s what my mentor usually advised for composing. 😃

That's great! When I hum a melody onto my phone when I'm walking or something, the pitch is all over the place too lol.

Same! But i usually come up with my best melodies at the piano, and on the violin!

What's the workflow for composing for orchestra? Do you write out your sketches on piano first (either for two or four hands), or do you go straight into writing for each part of the orchestra? And how do you make it more "efficient" for you? Edit: added question ^^;;

Great

What was the book you read to learn about other composers process?

@CarlosLalonde 20 дней назад

Composers On Composing For Band by Mark Camphouse. There are a few volumes and they are really insightful!

@mackenlyparmelee5440 2 года назад

Great video, thank you for sharing! I have a question: at one point you mentioned studying other composers' processes. Could you recommend some resources for study?

@CarlosLalonde 2 года назад

Sorry for the late reply, but there's a series of books called "Composers on Composing for Band" and it lays out so many valuable insights on being a professional composer, including their processes. I know it's dedicated to band music, but it is applicable in any other genre like orchestra.

@@CarlosLalonde Just an update, I did go ahead and order the first volume of that book. It's coming in tomorrow. Thanks again for the recommendation!

@omaracevedo512 3 года назад

i do too get my music ideas for my mood how i feel and how the atmosphere where i am at. But does this ever happened to you while in the piano or taking a normal walk

@CarlosLalonde 3 года назад

Both! More so when I walk in nature, but my mood influences much of my music.

@Leaf_comfromtrees78 3 года назад

Yes
