John Joachim Laland Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I spoke with a music teacher recently about my aspiration to write music. He suggested i'd learn harmony to begin with, and that i'd do exercises arranging bass lines and 2, 3 and 4 part harmony for melodies. I should perhaps find someone to give me feedback on my attempts, so i was thinking maybe someone on this board could help me out. Also, what would be a fair hourly wage for this job?

Kvothe Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 hahahha......advertise here is not going to get you that. what you need is to start writing and self promoting it to the public. Then, publish it. Maybe you will make it. who knows. ;) Commerical art is hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danishali903 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Not to make fun of the OP, or belittle him, but how did you get a degree in music without learning harmony? And I second Kvothe's advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRKulus Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I think you guys may be misreading the original post (or maybe not reading it at all?)... My interpretation is that he is a beginner looking for someone with a degree in music to teach him harmony. In other words, the subject is [Do you] have a degree in music--[are you] looking to earn some money [by teaching him harmony]? In which case, I think this is a perfectly good place to go for help. John, I might suggest publicly posting your harmony exercises on this site. That way, you can get feedback from a larger number of people (that's why we're here to begin with) and you wouldn't have to pay them :) Edited October 11, 2013 by NRKulus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Joachim Laland Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks for your responses. NRKulus got it right. Sorry for not being more clear.I was thinking i would exploit this board by posting many exercises to have them reviewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, post them on here and we'll give you feedback, FREE of charge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
