In This Video I cover how to use the your singing voice and a “chord palette” to write a song.

This is how I write most of my songs.

In the Video, I write this song in real time. At the end of the video the Kansas University Ensemble “New Resonance” plays the original piece so you can hear it sounds played with a Jazz Ensemble.

In The Video we’ll briefly look at these topics:

1. Chord Palette (Key Center or 7 Note Set)

2. Singing Over Triads/7th Chords (Adjacent and random)

3. Modal Interchange (Same Root different Chord Quality)

4. Inspiration vs. Craft and Theory

5. Writing Down The Song/Software.

6. Trusting Your Singing Voice.

7. Methods for Finding Chords for the Melody 8. Rule Of 3 9. Arranging

~ Enjoy!
