Any suggestions about theory learning beyond this?
Something that would help with composition perhaps? Music phrasing? Some book to read? Something for self learning? I wish that melodies I am trying to compose would be better in reflecting what I like in music, and I whish to figure out what is missing.
I can improvise with different chords but it is getting boring and once I try to do something more comlex it doesn't reflect what I like.
I think I am missing something basic and simple but since I had no other option but to learn myself mostly it is probable that I simply wasn't exposed to something essential in theory, something that all good composers know very whell, something that allows experimenting but in a productive way.
May be there is a book that is like a bible for all composers and I simply never heard about it?
- ska 6y agoI don't have any specific recommendations and am quite rusty - but years ago when I was similarly interested I just looked up a decent undergraduate music programs course requirements and got their intro harmony text followed by intro comp text; learned a lot from that.
- smharris65 6y agoThis is not a bible for composers but does cover some common chord progression for popular music: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0595263844/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0595263844/ref=ppx_yo_dt...
