Description

Composing music is something that you can practice and improve in the same way you can with your instrument.  In this episode, Dr. Tony Steve and I chat about music composition as a craft, the idea of compositional templates, the importance of limitations, mastering idioms, counterpoint, and how you can use exercises to improve.
