Want to compose your own piano music but don’t know here to start? Then no more worries. By just following these simple steps I prepared for you can ensure a breezy and fun ways of composing your own piano music.
Even though you only have beginner piano lessons or still taking them, the basic knowledge of the piano chords and the music are the main keys on composing your own piano music.
Step 1
Piano lessons. I might have mentioned before about not much piano lessons but getting at least the basic piano chords and the music theory can be advantageous to anyone. Piano Chords are basically the building blocks of sounds in music. Everything that’s in C Chord will always be the same with other sometimes just in a higher note or octave.

Did you know that a lot of songs are made from the C Major Scale or the C Chord? It’s because that the C Major Scale is the easiest scale to work with.

Step 2
Your left hand does the piano chords or other piano chords progressions and runs while the right hand balances it with the main melody of the music. Remember that not all piano chords will sound good at some certain melodies.
Step 3
Where will you start? Some pianists and composers prefer to start off with the piano chords then add the melody after. To some pianists it works but in most cases, it causes more confusion. So if this is you first time composing your own piano music, then you can try using easy piano notes first then add the appropriate piano chords.
Step 4
Okay, so you’re going to use the C Major, I usually consist of the piano notes G and C as the melody. You can try doing some runs and chord progressions or broken chords to create the beat and the speed you want to create. Just experiment and try as many patterns as you can just make sure it still fits for the earlier melody you created.
Step 5
You can try different piano chords that still has the same mood that may eventually lead up to a whole song. You can start your music at the intro or the chorus or the verses.
Step 6
It’s alright to repeat some piano chords that you’ve already set just make sure that the next one will be a little different than the first pattern so you won’t bored your listeners.
Step 7
Transfer it! You can now try putting it in a piano sheet music. Although this step can be set aside for later if you’re music theory isn’t still broad enough or if you are piano beginner.
