Hope you're off to a great songwriting month this April. I'd been fortunate in the past couple of weeks to carve out some additional time to work on rounding out some projects that have called for some finishing touches in a professional studio. Accordingly, I was honored to have the chance to again get some studio time with one of my favorite writer-producers Marc Jacobs who's work you may have experienced with three seasons of Fox's Bones under his belt, Men In Trees and even interlude music on American Idol among other shows and film projects. I guess since I worked with him way back when he still kindly takes my calls and considers squeezing me in now and then. So I'll have some of these new songs up on my Broadjam.com/RobCurtis site soon - after mastering them - so probably by mid May. Some or all of them will end up on my coming album too. By the way if you're looking for a great site to host your songs online as an artist I suggest checking out Broadjam. If you just want to try it out you can host up to three songs indefinitely for free. And they have ongoing pitch opportunities all the time for artist, tv and film pitches. Okay, enough about all that and me, I wanna talk about you :-) (thanks Toby Keith and the great writing of Bobby Braddock) - so, now let's get down to the business of this month's newsletter issue - music writing - as in writing out more complete lead sheets (the melody along with the chords) to even more elaborate constructions - such as a multi-part choral arrangement if by chance a choir might be singing your song - or a more common situation perhaps - writing out parts for a band - your band even. As may well be your practice you might write out as much as a chord based lead sheet and then sing your song to depict the melody. That's pretty standard practice in pop songwriting right? All right, so maybe you don't even write out music notes let alone even a chord symbol above your lyrics but you find yourself in a situation where you need a program to help you out. Oh ya, and you've only got a budget of the two extra $20s in your pocket. Well then, check out today's article to see how our best selling notation program just could be the ticket for you to get the music writing done you need - and those two $20s will cover it just fine. Hope you have a great writing month!

Sometimes The Time Is Right To Write Your Music When you've got to write out a melody part along with your chords (such as when you need a melody chord sheet for your demo singer or need to write out parts for a band) you're pretty much going to need a notation program or at least the notation feature of your sequencer, if it has one, for a basic job.
Play Music is a bestseller here because it makes notation easier and affordable and allows for creating notation from simple mouse click entries to playing in notation via a midi instrument and it rates high among users for ease of use and capability. No Music Theory Needed Play Music does not require knowledge of music theory to use the program. You can start right in by clicking in your notes and then typing in the words or word syllables to your lyrics under each according melody note. No Playing An Instrument Required If you don't play keyboard or guitar or any instrument for that matter - or perhaps you are out of your home with just a laptop in tow - everything you need to do can be done by clicking or typing in your song project. If you do play an instrument that can play chords and melody like a digital piano (or midi keyboard controller) or a midi-enabled guitar then you can play the notes into the program and it will display the notes onto music staves for you. Save Time With Preset Templates Get a head start by loading in a template first
and you're well underway to getting your song notated. And if you
prefer you can create your own templates. Either way they're great
time savers and get you over the finish line that much sooner. Click
here to check out more of how Play Music makes notating easier and
how it can help you get your notation project done without busting in
the bank in the process. |
