There are four fundamental elements of music: chords and harmony, melody, rhythm, and dynamics. A simple strategy to start composing piano music is to choose one and go from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chords_and_harmony\"><\/span><strong>Chords and harmony<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the easiest way to start composing piano music is to begin with a chord progression. Grab a couple of <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/piano-chords\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">basic piano chords<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and smash them together.

Simple and easy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Play that entire progression three times and then move to a G major chord to round it out. There you go!

If you feel comfortable writing the notes in <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/treble-clef-notes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the treble clef<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you may enjoy notating your melodies on music notation paper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Composing melodies is not as exact a science as learning how to compose piano music with chords. But, there here are some basic pointers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think lyrically. Almost every melody in pop music is based around lyrics.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give enough space. If you plan to sing your melody, you will need space to breathe!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use small groups of notes called motifs. Powerful melodies are built around small chunks of notes that repeat and morph.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep it simple! <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\"><iframe title=\"Variation: 14 Ways to Compose with One Idea\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fJfvFqT9XV8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_rhythm_ties_it_all_together\"><\/span><strong>The rhythm ties it all together<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes students find it easiest <a href=\"\/blog\/piano-rhythm-exercises\/\">to begin with the rhythm<\/a> when learning how to compose a song on piano. It may be simple to write a basic chord progression, or sing a simple melody. But, if you do not know what the rhythm will feel like or what the drum beat will sound like, you might have trouble locking down a solid concept.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using some type of metronome or drum machine is extremely useful when composing piano music. For example, if you know you want to write a fast song, that means you will probably have fewer chords and a melody with longer notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, maybe you will have a fast moving melody to match your fast rhythm. If you want to try composing piano music at a slower tempo, then you will probably be able to fit in more chords and maybe a faster melody to match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, identifying what type of rhythm you want your song to have before you begin writing any chord progressions or melody can help you to break through any creative blocks you might experience.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19880\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1.png 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Copy_your_heroes\"><\/span><strong>Copy your heroes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no shame in copying your heroes when you are learning how to compose piano music. In fact, it is almost necessary at some level to study and learn the songs of your biggest musical influences. That way, you learn the underlying architecture of songs you actually enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a simple strategy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a song you truly love and want to learn<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it is a song in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skoove repertoire<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all the better.

Then shift the melody and rhythm to match this change.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, start shifting the melody first. Take the chord progression you enjoy and try to write a new melody for it.
