Donny Drum Corps Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Yeah most of the charts I looked as a youngster were written in C no matter what key they were in LOL...Corky was the first guy that put them in the right key in my world. Kenny I will be in Milwaukee Friday and Saturday FYI. DA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tansea Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 All are great ideas, except my skills with music theory and aural skills are non-existant. I should know, I'm a former music education major. I dropped the major because I kept failing theory and aural. Both of those things, which are key to writing scores by ear, are things I just can't do. I can pick out melodies and sometimes write it correctly, but anything below that, including basslines, which is what I usually only play, are things I just can't pick out by listening to a song. The inner harmonies and counter-melodies are the worst for me. I should know, I've been trying to play along with/arrange parts of the 89 Phantom Show since the early 00s when I was in high school. Any arranging I do is based off of music scores I have or MIDI files that I import and then re-voice and clean up. Guess I need to find a way to contact Jim Wren and shell out my life savings for a copy of something from 20 years ago... Then this will be a great leaning experience for you. Come on cowboy, I got faith in ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
