Welcome! I'm Diana Mascari.
Have you ever wondered whether you could compose your own music?
Many people believe composing is something only gifted musicians can do.
I don't believe that's true.
During this free online Masterclass, I'd like to show you how composers actually begin a piece—and why composition is much more accessible than most people imagine.
Whether you've played the piano, another instrument, or are returning to music after many years,
I hope you'll join me.
You may discover that the composer you've been looking for isn't someone else at all.
It may be the composer within you.
During Our Time Together We'll Explore Three Questions
-
Can anyone learn to compose?
Is composing reserved for musical geniuses? Or is it a creative skill that can be learned?
-
Why compose when you can simply play the piano?
What happens when you move from performing music to creating music?
-
How does a composer actually begin a piece?
I'll demonstrate how a few simple musical ideas can gradually become the beginning of a composition using music notation software (I’ll show you what that is in a minute)
You'll discover that composing doesn't begin with a masterpiece. It begins with one musical idea.
