New to Composing

Hello! 

I am Jo, and I am new in the forum. I am new to composing although I am already a pianist for a long time. May you please give me some tips on how to start such as articles and websites ? I plan to arrange old hymns and turn it to modern sounding ones.

thank you!

Hi, Jo! Welcome to the community. 

Here's an earlier thread with lots of good advice for a starting composer: 

Other than that, my only advice is start writing! And when you do, we'll be happy to hear it. For the record, I love old hymns, and I'm particularly interested when I hear them in new interpretations. 

Hello Jo!

If you would like, I have a youtube channel dedicated to learning how to compose music, you can check out the first video here:

Good luck! Definitely check out great music recordings, that helps a ton.
