I attended a songwriter's coffee many years ago, to sing a few songs on guitar, and one of my fellow writers had a little keyboard on which she did a few original tunes. I thought, "I want to do that!". So I studied classical music forms, the Gradus Ad Parnassum, etc. Then I composed some tunes! To record, the scores were "played" in a music software program with a Bosendorfer piano sound font. Some form examples in the compositions are etude, toccata/fugue Bach form, canon (strict, mirror, retrograde, etc.), sarabande, and passacaglia. I enjoy the compositions, and I hope you do as well. PS - a fugue or canon is a cool little musical puzzle, which turns out light years better and faster than writing point and counterpoint note by note. It's no wonder Bach loved them. Try it sometime!
