Ryan Leach | How to Write Music From Blank Page to Melody with the Sentence Form @RyanLeach | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video I show you how to use the sentence form to write a brand new 8-bar theme from scratch. Starting from a blank page I go through the process of how to get started on a new melody, come up with a basic idea and it's repetition, write the continuation, and lead it all to a satisfying cadence.
For more on the sentence check out Analyzing Classical Form: geni.us/lxrqx
Before you watch this it would probably help to watch my video where I explain the sentence form in more detail: youtu.be/ucNWbawSiZM
