A song can create images in a persons mind. They listener may recall past events in their life that relate to the story being told in the song. The music production helps to support that imagery. When properly done it may bring a person back to their own personal experiences that they can remember and relive through your song.
When a song is well written the dynamic of the song will be clearly spelled out by the story. It will help you decide if you should use a breakdown section instead of a bridge section.
It will help you decide whether to fade out on chorus sections, a vamp section, end the song with big crash or just a simple melody. Unless you are writing a song that is meditation music or attempting to put the listener into some kind of hypnotic state, people will respond most to differences in things, not sameness.
Without this progression of dynamic changes, people will get bored and turn you off. The best way to judge whether a song is ready for the music production process is to FEEL it instead of listening to it. In other words, stop thinking and just let it speak to you. Pay close attention to any section of the song where you lose interest or feel your attention is taken somewhere else. Does the song hold your full attention from beginning to the end?
Does it drag on too long? Do you feel cheated of shortchanged by the song because it is too short? Do you feel satisfied after listening to it? Remember, feeling will always outweigh thinking! If you find yourself trying to convince somebody why a song is good, then you should already know that something is wrong.
If you have completely lost your perspective, shelve the song for a while until you can listen with fresh ears. Listening to the same thing over and over can have the effect of burning it into your consciousness. You lose the ability to be objective.
Finally, when writing a song, never ask somebody what they think of it. Unless they are a professional producer or artist and are brutally honest people, they will usually BS you because they are your friend and trying to support you. The best way to judge a song is to play it in the background and just watch for reactions without soliciting one. Do they move their head or body to the beat? Do they leave the room singing the lyric or melody? Do they ask you about whose song this is? These are clear signs that something is right because they are feeling it, not listening to it.
Once you are satisfied with the song, you are ready to take the next step. Step 2 is the Demo stage of the music production process. In all of the excitement over writing a song, it is easy to overlook this important part of the process. This is an experimental phase of the production process that allows you discover how to best present your song to the listener.

The ideal outcome for my approach to the reading process is a three-dimensional, holographic, virtual reality with kids-as-avatars traveling comfortably through their inner landscapes. Puppy, apple, clouds, sunset, parakeet, angry, happy, smiling, roses, sadness, pen, racing and forest. Students scan their memories with the inner eye to find an image, observe it on a fictional TV screen, and connect it to triggered feelings, thoughts, meanings, and experiences.
These sentences might be viewed as "simple;" however, the purpose is to improve and heighten the visualization process by inspiring greater mental, visceral and psychological involvement from the inside out. A fun, motivating, attention-grabbing technique for practicing visualization is to switch from real to surreal sentences and to present the imagination as a self-amusement park. Let this exercise take your kids to "where the sidewalk ends.
Music Writing and Reading-and-Imagining open up the phenomenal worlds of images-as-words and words-as-images , respectively. Kids enjoy visualizing, reflecting and contemplating in the reading-and-imagining process initiated by Music Writing. When taught the basic tools for changing words into mind-pictures in reading, students can re-create authors' imaginations to discover the virtual realities within and delight in their own creativity.
They learn to appreciate reading and writing because they have made friends with words. The writing and reading processes, in order to thrive, need to nourish, support, complement, and reinforce each other.
The Music Writing Project Music Writing is an activity I developed that introduces kids to inner experience: they listen and relax to music for ten minutes and contemplate whatever happens inside their worlds during that time. It is always convenient to listen to music you are familiar with if you choose to listen to music with lyrics when writing. With such music, your mind understands the songs and how the song goes.
As a result, you can concentrate on your writing without shifting your focus to the song for details that you hear for the first time. Below are the music genres that have been considered as the best music for writing.
Many writers consider classical music as concentration music because it does not have lyrics. One study showed that Baroque-period tunes have a substantial effect on concentration and consequently on productivity. Although classical music presents the finest form of concentration music, not all forms of classical music stimulate the mind to a concentration mood.
For instance, some D minor classical tunes may not suit the fineness required for concentration writing music. Therefore, the most recommended compositor is Johann Sebastian Bach, particularly his Brandenburg Concerto 3. This genre has a continuum of tunes, some that are ambient and others that are too obtrusive.
For concentration writing, the ambient, unobtrusive style suits the purpose. Although the genre is somehow repetitive, the music soothes the mind in a good way and therefore enhances concentration when writing. The repeating tunes are not disruptive and, therefore, would be a good choice of music that helps you write.
Some studies suggest that tunes that are played at 60 Beats-per-minute activate the brain to creativity and focus. When you listen to such music, you encounter easier and more creative thinking. As a result, you can concentrate on your writing and create new ideas in an easier way. As teachers, we want to encourage our students and provided them with positive feedback.
With classroom with such diverse students, music is a way in which to connect students together, and to create a sense of community within the classroom. This ties directly into Standard 5 for teaching. As a teacher in the state of Washington, you must be culturally aware of your students. You need to be able to recognize this cultural diversity within the classroom setting.
