Details

I have learned many things about composing while taking this course. One of the most important would be musical detail. This really is just as important as the composition itself. Like learning anything new, the more you practice the more natural it becomes. I think that over the two projects that we were assigned I have made progress in learning about the art of preparing a score. There could honestly be a course just about this.

Since my second piece included a guitar, I had to include string markings and fingerings. Although I have played studied and played through many guitar scores, it really was eye opening how much care one must take when considering fingerings and positions.
