I am New and want to start writing songs?
i just wanted to know some things in regards to chord arrangement. Before i start writing a song do i have to choose which key i want to do it in? If i was to do a song in C would i only use the chords that make the key of C(C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bo)? If i am on piano playing chords along with melody will the melody that i make follow the chords changes. For example if i was to play C chord and use melody notes in C and then change to Em, would my melody notes change to the scales in Em.
Thanks in advance for any help on these questions. |

Yeah, I mean if you have any sense of feeling for the music you can just rely on that. Theory should mostly be a retrospective thing, in my personal opinion, and the emotion should come first. But some composers like to lay ground work, and there's nothing wrong with that. Just do it however you feel comfortable - there is no standard.

i understand what you guys are saying but i would really like a basic starting ground. It will be easier for me to work out what sounds good if i have some parametres to work with. I thought everysong was in a certain key. I would really like my questions answered if anybody knows. Thx
