I have recently decided to challenge myself to writing music, further more than the mere 8 bars I can manage so far for the grade 5 exam. I need to improve my modulations and the use of suspensions. The weakness in these two exclusively has already hindered my 4-part harmony. I keep getting stuck and end up having to redo the whole piece. It is sometimes discouraging that it doesn't seem to be "getting there".
Composing was suppose to be fun, to me it's like fixing a jigsaw of sounds together and a full picture of sounds can spark off another person's imagination and give rise to imagery correspondence.
When will I get it? Can I just plant a seed, water and wait? Is that all I can do?
