My friend asked me to write the music for her game. please give me some critique of any sort (especially constructive)

For a first compositon.. this isn't that bad. it is way better than my first one. as a beginner composer i'll give you an 8/10. but as a composer i've become after many practice i give you 6/10. i liked the way you kept your melody. it sticks in my head. but you should consider working harder on your chords cause you can do so much better on some parts by adding the correct chords. im sure you're gonna turn out to be a great composer. perhaps better than me.

Heh, I wrote a stupid song in grade 8 called Destiny . . anyways, is there a midi you can provide?

blargh... it was from back in 7th grade... i keep trying to add more chords and things to it, but i just can&#39;t bring myself to change it... >.< thanks for the constructive criticism, though&#33; it&#39;s greatly appreciated&#33;

That was very good. I don&#39;t take piano lessons, or even know how to place my hands on the right keys, but I am able to play things like that. No idea how to read music. If I did I could compose stuff, also...but as of now, all I can do is play by ear fairly well. I&#39;ve just about got "To Zanarkand" down pat without knowing how to even play piano&#33; haha. Anyway, I liked that. 8/10.

The song was very good in overall, but the ending came too fast. I mean, the ending part was about 2 sec. Make longer and you will have a complete good song.
8/10
Any more songs coming up ? :rolleyes:

Hm...this song reminded me of something I&#39;ve heard before...ah well, I can&#39;t remember what it is. I thought it sounded exceptionally good in measures 22-25. I wish the whole song could have been like that. Very good first composition, though. I&#39;m hoping to see more from you.

Hmmm...for a good composition, it was good. It was just slightly repetitve. And instead of piano, this should be for a string quartet. And you should add some dynamics. But otherwise, it&#39;s pretty good.

6/10 normally, 9/10 as a first composition.
