In this lesson we explore the process of composition. For many people, composition is a very mysterious process; particularly if you have never composed before.

Melody, Harmony, & Rhythm
There are 3 essential components of composing music. These 3 components are melody, harmony, and rhythm. A good composition will contain all three of these elements in varying amounts. Jovino discusses these 3 elements and how each of these can be a starting point for beautiful compositions.

The Importance Of Motif Development
A motif is a melodic or rhythmic framework which can be applied throughout a composition. Jovino demonstrates a simple and effective way to develop a motif that can be used for creative composition.

Tonal Melody & Polytonal Harmonic Concept
Jovino demonstrates 2 approaches to creating a harmonic framework when composing. We can follow a framework built on traditional progressions and cadences such as 25s and 251s, and we can also introduce a polytonal harmonic framework which does not rest in any particular key centre.
