Process Journal #5

Regrettably I have to say that I haven't really worked on my project this past week due to time management problems. However, I spent around two hours today on it, and I actually accomplished some things!

 First off, I've been having major creativity problems. For some reason my mind refuses to turn on it's 'creative switch', so every time I sit in front of my piano to compose, I can't think of anything to play. Luckily today I found something which I'm sure will help me tremendously with my composing.

I came across this website: www.learn-piano.org. On it there is a section about music composition, and I seriously think this is going to be a lot of help. The creator of the website also has a YouTube channel called "learnpiano". On it there are a lot of videos that explain the many steps needed to create a song. I sat down at my piano today and watched a few of the videos, and already I've gotten a lot further. I came up with a melody that I like, and I'm going to try to expand on it this week. I am reserving the upcoming weekend for my personal project, so if all goes well I will be able to finally get a lot of work done.

I am really excited that I finally have a base to my song. I want this week to go by fast so that I can really work on my project over the weekend. Excitement! :)
