Ryan Leach | How to express an idea with music @RyanLeach | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
To express your ideas and feeling with music you need to change your language.
๐ how to tell a story with music youtu.be/kGCztkhPcRU
Please like to say that music is a language, but it's really not. Music is more like poetry, where we use metaphors to try to express our ideas without being literal.
In this video I talk about what kinds of words to use, and how specific to make them, to be able to take the things you want to say with your compositions and express them musically.
