'Sup everyone! I wrote a small piece late last night so it's not very long but i just wanted to know what you all thought.

It has the same little motif playing all over, and it certainly isn't interesting. If we're talking development; There is none! You're first problem isn't development though... it's that the piece is very dull :/ There's nothing which the listener can 'grab' on to, so to speak.

What makes you like your favourite song? Think about that, and learn those ingredients.

yeah it is pretty repeditive, i was trying to stick the melody in the listener's head but i played it over and over too much.

A good melody that sticks in the audience's head doesn't necessarily have to be played more than once, because if it's good, it will never leave the audience's mind.

S are there any more opinions on this? I keep listening to it and i know it needs a lot of work but i have definetly heard MUCH worse on here before. I've even heard tracks in games that are worse than this. By no means am I making what i wrote sound like a masterpiece cause it's no where close to being anything remotely great.

Well, if you compare yourself to worser ones, you can never improve, you need to compare yourself to those who are better than you to improve. By that, I don't mean for you to compare yourself with Beethoven, and feel bad and quit composing. You should compare to those who are slightly better than you, listening to their pieces, adapting their techniques, and eventually adding your own style to the techniques. If you compare yourself to those who are worse than you, you might grow a sense of ego, which makes it harder to improve. ;)

Technically speaking, like everyone would say, create a melody that you like (be honest to yourself; ask yourself does it really sound good or do I like it because I make myself), and from that, add your harmonization with care. If you put random notes under your melody, it's gonna ruin the melody. So everything you do in a composition counts, you can't really get away with having a little mistake because if you continue to keep the mistake, notes might be screwed up in the next second, problems occur when you orchestrate it, it might turn out awkward and etc... I do believe you have a sense of theory, but, remember, rules are made not because they are to be followed, but to be broken. Well, I hope this helped... ;)

I understand what you're saying, i'll give it another go.

When I heard the first 6 notes, I thought this song would be awsome but then, it just shot down so fast. Maybe its because your first 6 notes reflected how I write my music.

I think what could make this piece a lot better would be that you go further than just using "Do re mi" in your entire melody. The only time I heard you go outside that boundry is at the start when you went up to a "so". If you don't know what to do then use arppegios. They never go wrong but remember not to over use it.
