The Call to Create: Why 48 Hours Is Enough

This is the first blog in the series I call “Composing a Song in 48 hours. A video series will soon follow this on my YouTube channel.

Here’s just a bit of what to expect during the series and what we will talk about. The first blog is “The Call to Create.” I’m writing this to get myself and others out of a composing rut that we may be in. We’ll also learn how to sketch first-refine later for writing ideas on the fly. We’ll then go into “Let the Spirit Lead — Composing with Emotion and Intention.” This is where you get quiet and let the silence speak musically. Then, we have “Structure and Flow — Shaping Your Piece for Impact”

Then, it will be onto blog 5 where we approach this topic: "Finish and Share — Completing Your Piece with Purpose.” That will pretty much round out this blog/vlog series. I’ll post the blogs first if I have them and then I will create and share the vlogs to go with the series a bit later.

This is just a foretaste of what I have coming in the very near future. Hopefully, this series can help those struggling composers out there.

See you all in the next one!
