I think the snare drum sounds very annoying. And the whole thing is very plain and uninteresting. Colorless.
But still, with the lack of energy sent, it’s really good! And good tutorial.

I just wanted to drop by and tell you that this was an extremely informative post. I did notice that “the name of the book on music-arrangement” that you referred-to in the post is no longer present. I would very much like to know what the name of that book is.

It would be helpful if you also posted links to suggested sources of information about the harmonization and music theory. (I happen to be fairly familiar with that, having spent a lot of time running around the ol’ Circle of Fifths, but targeted links would still be helpful to many.

It’s extremely helpful that you posted both the screen-shots of the score in progress, and the corresponding sound clips.

Once again, thank you for a well thought out Internet resource.

@Lou,

We may have different perception about “classical”. I always have problem learning to play difficult pieces of classical music.
I am more into improvisation - pop and a little bit of jazz.

hi KCLau, are you serious? You say that you have no expertise in semi-classical and that you barely passed the theory exam,but your piano style seems classical to me….am I missing something?

Hi there,

During my wedding day, i received a gift from a friend. It was a song that he wrote by himself and play it with piano (kind of like a demo version).

I am totally helpless of arrange a song into a real one (with music background).

I am hoping that if there is anyone here, kind enough to help make this dream come true, would be much appreciated.

Please email me and let me know!!! Thanks

Dear Sir,

I have composed a few songs and I would like to record them with the live band. My songs will be played with Traditional musical intruments.
can you advise me as follows:

1. How to organise or rather the method of music arrangements?
2. How much the studio will costs?
3. Do you have any centre in Subang Jaya?

Thanks and looking forward to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Elaine
