Join Dr. Daniel Nistico, celebrated musician and teacher, for this five week course as he guides participants through composing a piece of music from scratch.

Week 2: Melody – learn how to compose melodies quickly and how to structure them.
Week 3: Harmony – add the primary chords as a starting point and learn how to spice up your chord selection
