Whether you’re a seasoned arranger with hundreds of charts to your name, or a budding composer hoping to start your next big project, writer’s block can pose a hurdle that is hard to overcome. Rather than feel shame in the setback, you can use writer’s block as an opportunity to try new creative strategies when your usual methods aren’t quite doing the trick. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/cbbadac7-c911-40e1-90c1-21e88c3599a2/kevs-sa6ER85M7DU-unsplash.jpg Blog - Tips for Overcoming a Creative Block - Cook yourself a meal. Listen to music in the background! Take a long walk. Listen to music or focus on your senses. What do you smell? Hear? See? Play with a pet. It’s proven to have calming benefits! Watch or listen to a concert live stream. Or avoid the decision fatigue and turn on the radio! Read a book. Can you pull inspiration from a line of text or plot events? Create physical art: doodle, paint, sculpt, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/4fee56d8-de66-448a-93e8-59e903187945/blocks-T3mKJXfdims-unsplash.jpg Blog - Tips for Overcoming a Creative Block - Classical music, heavy metal, indie folk, pop—whatever you’re into, turn it on! Of course, you can use your favorite music as an escape from your writer’s block, but you can also use it as a chance to study the music you love. Try transcribing a song by ear, re-harmonizing your favorite melody, or digging into the chords that make a certain bridge feel so powerful. Don’t be afraid to pull inspiration from the music you listen to. The greatest composers stole ideas from each other constantly! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/9c8f1e2f-edc0-4196-b296-1c38a655458b/guitar-piano.jpg Blog - Tips for Overcoming a Creative Block - Sit down at the piano, sing, or pick up your horn and just play! Improvise, build a familiar melody by memory, or practice your fundamentals. Use your phone to take an audio recording of your session. You can use this to remember your improvisations and use them in your composition or arrangement! Plus, playing your instrument puts you in the space of the performer, which can provide a new perspective for how to go about writing your piece. https://blog.arrangeme.com/blog/staccato-spotlight-anna-lapwood monthly 0.5 2024-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/cb8f9811-bd2d-4413-b6fd-790f0810fc9b/03+Anna+Lapwood+-+Credit+Nick+Rutter.jpg Blog - Staccato Spotlight: Anna Lapwood - Anna Lapwood Organist, arranger, composer, conductor, educator, and broadcaster More than 1.5 million followers across her social media platforms Member of the Order of the British Empire ArrangeMe member since 2023 Anna Lapwood MBE is a star organist from the United Kingdom and is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable faces in classical music.

We want to delay that trip to the concession stand at half time! As an educator, I want the music that we play to be accessible for my students, but also challenge them to grow as young musicians. I take care to write low brass parts that keep the students engaged, while making sure that the 1st trumpets aren't spending too much time above the staff. I often feature the woodwinds during part of the song so that they are not just doubling the brass all the time. I usually finish each tune with a strong chorus that has an original countermelody to add a personal touch. I love a soaring alto/mello line! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/1664226178342-YLPTC1JW30CVVJLL1W1K/unsplash-image-cv1zLZ7j9jw.jpg Blog - Staccato Spotlight: ArrangeMe Music Educators - Elizabeth B.: If you are making an arrangement for instruments that you are unfamiliar with, try asking musical friends about playability. A Google search (and indeed most notation software) will give advice about an instrument's range, but get to know how it 'plays'. For example the most basic key for piano is C major, but for a violinist C is a hard key, into early intermediate level. Beginner violin music is G, D and A major! So don't just copy that piano melody in C. Transpose it! Just a few clicks in your software. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/e0a36866-0486-4b01-aa61-7564918ff0a8/unsplash-image-vmfrI94uPyE.jpg Blog - Staccato Spotlight: ArrangeMe Music Educators - Allison L.: Know your students. What do they want to play, and what will the audience enjoy? Composing and arranging music for your own students allows you to tailor the music to highlight their strengths, challenge them to grow in musicianship, and motivate them through music that makes a personal connection in some way. https://blog.arrangeme.com/blog/more-ways-to-market-and-promote-your-sheet-music monthly 0.5 2022-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/be156d61-6cd9-4a78-85bf-73d9268ed8d5/computer+and+coffee.jpg Blog - More Ways to Market and Promote Your Sheet Music - 1.

Notice that beat 3 is not visible in the top example, whereas beat 3 is very clear in the bottom version. Make sure your notation makes the meter clear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/fb418a1a-d568-4d35-a297-03a2cc18778f/Notating+syncopation2-horizontal.png Blog - Notating Syncopated Rhythms - In the top example, only beats 1 and 4 are visible to the player. The correct example makes every beat visible and is much easier to read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/6754f08d-0594-48d3-a38d-c1d1c92c33cc/Invisible+barline-horizontal.png Blog - Notating Syncopated Rhythms - Imagine an "invisible barline" that splits a measure into equal parts. This helps determine where to add tied notes for extra clarity. The top example is technically okay, but again, beat 3 is not visible. Tying two 8th notes across the "invisible barline" helps clarify beat 3. https://blog.arrangeme.com/blog/willis-music-announcement monthly 0.5 2022-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6eb4248f1716203de4bc/ec870c85-1611-446f-b477-b9807b4b6dc8/Willis_FB.jpg Blog - Willis Music Publishing catalog now available! - We are excited to announce the addition of Willis Music Publishing titles to the ArrangeMe program!
