Harmonize the first 8 bar melody


The chord is any group of three or more notes played together. They are basically either all played at once or simultaneously. You can use chords many ways but you can only try to use them effectively. They will help make sure your song sounds better than what they already did before. Chord progession is when you play a group of two or more chords in an order. I got it from http://www.ehow.com/facts_5159356_chord-progression.html

My first 8 bars

I honestly have put this together myself. The hardest part to me was actually making the composition. What I enjoyed most was basically writing a short melody. I also liked naming it on the block I live on.

Composer Study 1


The name of the song is "Reptilia". In this song there are a variety of instruments. There is an electric guitar, a bass guitar, and a drum set. I will call this punk rock. The composer of this song is Julian Casablancas. Three songs I have never known he wrote were "what ever happened?" and "Automatic Stop".They also have a new album out now but was released in 2011. Its called angles. The Strokes Listen to Angles Right Here | The Strokes This is also where I got my information. This band has some really awesome songs you should check them out.
