Description
Book Introduction
A friendly guide for beginners in composition, from creator Park Turtle.
Park Turtle's 'Self-Study Songwriting Guidebook' is a book that helps you create your own songs, as the title suggests. It explains the basics of songwriting, divided into chord progression, melody, lyrics, and rhythm parts. It includes detailed explanations, tracks to listen to sounds, illustrations, and checklist questions so that even beginners in composition or those who want to compose as a hobby can easily understand. In particular, the explanation is presented using four songs written and composed by the author himself as examples, helping to enable concrete practice. You can already see another talent of author Park Joo-eon, who is already teaching music theory in an easy-to-understand way through YouTube's 'Park Turtle's Music Notes'. Park Turtle's 'Self-Study Composition Guidebook' is a book that breaks the prejudice that studying composition is difficult. The author's know-how in easily explaining complex music theory through YouTube is now available in a composition book. In particular, it explains in detail what ideas were used to plan the author's self-composed songs that were released as sound sources and what composition techniques were used to complete them. We explain unfamiliar music theory as simply as possible, and provide tracks so that even beginners can listen to the sounds without feeling burdened. Anyone who wants to create their own songs can look forward to it. |
