I think that is one of the most enjoyable things about composing and improvising music and what should be taught to every student. Alas, the most interesting thing that I like to to teach to my students is how to use chords and scales to set up different moods: setting up a melancholic, romantic, or dark mood with minor chords and scales, a cheerful mood with the Major scale, a mysterious mood with the Whole-Tone scale, and many other possibilities that every student should be taught. Thanks for the article! Looking forward for more There is nothing better than to let your compositions truly express your emotions.

I know you are busy, but if you would have time to just look at it and give your imput, that would be phenomenal! I would love to be inspired by any of your successes, as I am sure would other teachers!

My songs have so much more passion at times like that! I have found that I always compose better music when I am in the middle of a trying time or if something significant is on my mind.
