(IB-) Music / Composition & Orchestration (Arrangement)

A Course - (Almost) Starting From Scratch 

by Rolf Becker

4.) Another option to find your melody:

The Music Style / Groove Pattern

One alternative way to begin your composition is to draw inspiration from a specific music style and unique rhythm or groove.

​

Below, you'll discover an assortment of rhythms from various music genres, featuring the already used chord progressions I-IV-V7-I and I-IIm7-V7-I.

​

I believe these samples will spark your creativity,

particularly in developing the melody or theme,

the essence of every composition.
