A friend of mine and me had this kind of contest where we gave eachother a beginning of a piece and we had to continue it and I think thats a good way to practice, because you see what the other person made from your two bars for example and you also have the chance to have some feedback. I really like this type of video. 😊👍
I'm a beginner level piano player (5 months in) and feel amazed by how easy to understand you're able to present such a complex topic You make creating music seem achievable even for someone who just recently started playing an instrument and learning about music theory Kudos for that! 💛

About rhythmic character, Bach has quite a few pieces that are written mostly in 16th notes, but they are felt in different groupings throughout the piece, making you feel a rhythm that isn't written
That’s true. Bach uses 16th notes quite a lot in 6/16 9/16 12/16. The groupings normally accord with those compound time signatures but there’s often plenty of syncopation/ rhythmic displacement.
Not necessarily. Really it’s more about how beats relate to rhythms eg in 6/16 there are 6 semiquavers per bar arranged as two groups of three, with each group of three generating a dotted quaver beat.
Wonderful, some deceptively advanced concepts, but handled very simply and clearly. One thing I do is I often subconsciously insist that phrases end on the first beat of a bar. In your example the phrase ends on the third beat.

I don't know if anyone will reply to this, but he talked about notes being justified played on top of the chord being essential notes or inessential notes, is this not all notes? I'm kinda confused. Can anyone clarify the relationship or what exactly are inessential notes? Couldn't get a good answer from Google lol
Essential notes are notes that belong to the chord sounding at the time. Inessential notes are notes that are slipped between essential notes that do not belong to the chord.

Is it possible to write a melody using one or two of the extension notes of the chord on the strong beats? Say, using an F# note on a Gmajor7 chord. Or, an A or E? Would they need to be in a higher pitch to behave as extensions which harmonize with the the chord tones rather than lower notes behaving as inessential notes? Or, when I write or see any extended chord, should I always simply boil it down to it’s basic triad to write a melody and work with it such as how you’ve shown us? Thanks!

I'm struggling with conjunct and disjunct melodic balance when using arpeggios. An arpeggio mostly stacks notes in thirds, but this will be in skips, not steps.

@@MusicMattersGB Thanks. I do have a tendency to try and squash as many notes as possible with sweep picking arpeggios, but I should really be more selective about speed bursts. Will definitely try to mix with other devices.
It sounds as if you need more cohesion between the sections - take ingredients of melody/ rhythm/ harmony from one section to use in the next. See our Creative song writing course at www.mmcourses.co.uk
You have to bear in mind vocal ranges and how to allocate words. Otherwise much is the same. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk including details of our online courses and of our exciting Maestros programme.

That’s true. Bach uses 16th notes quite a lot in 6/16 9/16 12/16. The groupings normally accord with those compound time signatures but there’s often plenty of syncopation/ rhythmic displacement.
Are you talking about a rhythm accented by leaps / turns?
Aka C B A C B A C B would be a 3+3+2 rhythm
Not necessarily. Really it’s more about how beats relate to rhythms eg in 6/16 there are 6 semiquavers per bar arranged as two groups of three, with each group of three generating a dotted quaver beat.
Wonderful, some deceptively advanced concepts, but handled very simply and clearly. One thing I do is I often subconsciously insist that phrases end on the first beat of a bar. In your example the phrase ends on the third beat.
Both endings are possible depending on the circumstances. Thanks for your positive comments. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for much more.

You can always book a session for a private lesson or for personal feedback at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Is it possible to write a melody using one or two of the extension notes of the chord on the strong beats? Say, using an F# note on a Gmajor7 chord. Or, an A or E?

That’s fine re chord extensions. Extended notes could be used at the top in the middle or at the bottom.
