How I wish COMPOSING was explained to me as a student

David Bruce Composer · preferred source

People starting to compose often say 'I had an idea, but I'm not sure what to do with it'. In this video I take the simple 'chopsticks' piece everyone plays on the piano when they start out, and whizz through 50 quick ways you can develop it and come up with new composing ideas. Hopefully if you're a bit stuck with your composition there will be some tips in here that might help SUPPORT THE CHANNEL ON PATREON https://www.patreon.com/davidbruce DAVID BENNETT PIANO has made a companion video all about the history of the Chopsticks piece itself.
