Today we're going to continue working on (and hopefully finish) our Song Projects. Hopefully, at this point you should have your verse and chorus sections pretty much done. Once you've got those down, you should concentrate on creating the other parts of the song.
In particular, I want everyone to make a bridge for their songs. What is a bridge again?
A bridge is a short section in the middle of a song that is different from the other parts. The purpose is to switch things up for the listener. A bridge is usually 8 bars long.
A bridge can be something as simple as a different drum pattern, but it's even better if it is different melody. It's up to you, but I want some kind of short part that is different from the verses and choruses.
Remember, the main goal of this project is to write music that reflects a certain idea or emotion in your life. You should have all turned in your song topics last week. Please make sure that you are still writing your song to this idea!
When you finish, save this as "(your name)_Song project 11-20.rns"
