TEN STEPS TO YOUR OPERA SONG
FIND A PIECE OF STAFF PAPER.
1.DRAW A TREBLE CLEF AT THE BEGINNING OF IT.
2. DRAW A BASS CLEF ON THE NEXT STAFF.
3.USE 4/4 TIME: FOUR BEATS IN EVERY MEASURE, QUARTER NOTE EQUALS ONE.
4.USE C SCALE NOTES, NO SHARPS OR FLATS (UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW)
5. USE QUARTER NOTES, HALF NOTES, WHOLE NOTES, DOUBLE EIGHTH NOTES, BE SURE TO USE MEASURE LINES EVERY FOUR BEATS.
6. CREATE UNITY AND CONTRAST BY REPEATING SOME MEASURES AND CREATING A SECTION THAT DOESN’T REPEAT.
7.USE A CONTOUR THAT GOES UP AND DOWN SMOOTHLY.
8. USE RESTS IN TREBLE AND BASS CLEF WHEN YOU HAVE NO NOTES PLAYING.
9.ONE NOTE PER SYLLABLE FOR YOUR LYRICS.

THIS IS A REPOST FROM 2014, BUT I THOUGHT THIS GROUP WOULD BE EXCITED BY HOW SIMPLE THE CREATIVE PROCESS REALLY CAN BE.
