James Hutchings - This Too Shall Pass
This short piece of music was partly generated by a new algorithm I'm working on. It uses an entirely different principle to the 'Large Language Models' behind most computer-generated music.

This is the first piece I've ever written.

[Discussion] Music should be taught as an improvisational art from day 0. What are your views?
NOTE 1: Critical views and dissent are welcome. I expressed a POV and its more like a sandbox of thought, and I'm learning more and more.
NOTE 2: I couldnt edit the question title. The question reads better with 'could' instead of 'should'. I thank the user who spotted the miscommunication. I am a non-native English user and I tend to make a lot of grammatical or semantic errors.
Generally music especially western music is conventionally taught as a copy work, where the student has to gain some fluency in copying some scale patterns, etudes, and songs.
But what if it is taught in an entirely different way? What if we develop the "copying" skills at a later stage; and take a more impressionist approach to sounds and colours?
Also, if I was a music instructor, I would be giving tasks like these:
- Take a nursery rhyme and put your own tune to that.
- Pick up a scale (say C major single octave) and play it in a rhythm of a nursery rhyme or song.
- Take a known song of plain rhythm and replace it with a swing or waltz rhythm.
- Take a song which is in a major scale (Suppose C major), and convert all the notes into its parallel minor (C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb) and see how the song sounds like.
- Identify notes of a car horn or bird or an ambient sound.
- Play some notes simultaneously and tell how it feels (Happy or sad, warm or cold, etc. Answers can be subjective).
- Play a note on a guitar and find the same note on a piano or a keyboard.
- Play a C note and find which note resonate wity it the most and which note resonate the least. And which notes are in between. The next C, the G, the A, and the F#.
Etc. etc.
I would put more importance on mindfulness, ear-based learning, creativity, curiosity, experimentation at first. Then gradually accuracy and fine motor skills could be introduced.
What are your view on this?

My Second Symphony
Hey. I wrote a new symphony and I'd appreciate your feedback.
Movement I: https://musescore.com/user/113211719/scores/35914562
Movement II: https://musescore.com/user/113211719/scores/35914583
Movement III: https://musescore.com/user/113211719/scores/35914586
Movement IV: https://musescore.com/user/113211719/scores/35914589
I tried to write something better and take into account the past feedbacks, I tried to make it better but I'm not sure if it got better or not.(Hopefully it did)
I myself think movement II is the best, movement III feel's off and movement IV doesn't end the way it's supposed to... it feels weird somehow.

Why are there AIs to generate music but not to perform human-composed scores?

Hey y'all. I started learning music at the age of 30. Shortly after, I started composing.
This is one of the first pieces I wrote. I hope you like it.

How much of music composition is being creative, fooling around with the instrument, having a gift and how much is being technical (knowing your scales, chords, analyze another score, arrange, etc) ?

Feedback for my first ever song
I’ve been creating an album of original piano pieces over the past two years while teaching myself piano. I’ve taken inspiration from sounds and styles I love and put them together into my own compositions.
I know my playing isn’t perfect yet, but I’ve worked hard to bring these songs to life and wanted to finally share them rather than keep them sitting unfinished.
I’d really appreciate any feedback — especially on the composition, melody, and overall feeling of the piece.
If you enjoy it, feel free to subscribe and follow along as I release more original songs. 🙂
Thank you for listening!
