I listen to a lot of music, and when i sit down to write some new music, all i can do is imagine the sound of the new music. I'm thinking that, along the same lines, if I write or look at lots of music, I'll be able to imagine how the music looks AND sounds, creating an ultimate music writing combo. Is it more effective if I write lots of my own new stuff, or if write (or transcribe?) other people's music? Any advice?
i've read your question 3 times and i still can't quite seem to understand it
