marv cripps replied to Matt Lachance's discussion What's your lyric writing process? in the group Songwriters"I've started carrying a spiral notebook in my pocket. If I write down a phrase of a thought, I can build on it later if it turns out to be anything worthwhile. Another thing I've recently done was to form a "fragmented poet's…"

Matt Lachance replied to Chris Rodier's discussion Isole' Theme - A little advice?"I thought it definitely sounded inspired! Great moving lines in the strings that complimented the melody. And its impossible to get those music programs to get the details perfect."
Alex Dunn left a comment for Matt Lachance"Hi Matt. I like your piece! It's very accomplished for someone your age. I like the fact that it's got multiple lines of music not just chords and melody. I think you definitely have a talent. And remember, you've got lots and lots of…"

Please Help By Commenting On My First Upload!!
Hello composers!I just uploaded my first piece, one I wrote a while back. Unfortunately, everything I have written after this was erased when switching computers so I have to re-notate them from paper to Finale. Please comment! Any advice is helpful.-MattSee More
Matt Lachance replied to Matt Lachance's discussion What's your lyric writing process? in the group Songwriters"Thanks! I do normally try to keep the words confined to a specific idea. Maybe this is the problem.

Alex Dunn replied to Matt Lachance's discussion What's your lyric writing process? in the group Songwriters"I find I have the same problem but I have also thought of a possible solution. However it might not work for everyone! I find it's when I try to control the meaning of the lyrics that I start having problems. Now I'm not saying that any…"
Matt Lachance added a discussion to the group SongwritersWhat's your lyric writing process?
As a songwriter, I find it much harder to write words to a song than the to write the music. I find I have to sit down and force myself to come up with words, and I rarely like the outcome. What are other peoples methods? Do the words come naturally, or is there some trick I don't know?P.S. I'm going to upload a few of my songs soon, so keep a lookout!See More

- About Me (MUST be more than 10 words to be approved):
- I'm a high school student just beginning to learn the ropes of composing, specifically getting ideas down on paper. I've been a musician all my life, but just starting writing after a Music teacher said I had a talent for it. I've only completed a few works, but I hope to gain advice through this forum. Any comments are welcome! I don't have any recordings yet but I hope to soon. Also, I'm thinking of being enrolled in composing classes at Eastman.

- Hi Matt. I like your piece! It's very accomplished for someone your age. I like the fact that it's got multiple lines of music not just chords and melody. I think you definitely have a talent. And remember, you've got lots and lots of time to get even better. Well done! Alex :)
