There is no limit to the creativity a student can develop in their composition lessons. You may choose to write some songs in the style of your favourite artists and then learn how to record all of the parts at home on your laptop or even your phone! Your tutors can take you through the songwriting process from initial ideas to final recording. Then you may decide to spice things up by learning how to write for other instruments like strings and horns. Next you’ll be able to work on mastering 4-part harmony and the concepts of orchestration. The possibilities when learning composition truly are endless.

Often composition lessons can include some basic piano lessons as playing piano in addition to guitar or another music instrument can be a great aid in the composition and arranging process. It is particularly useful when learning musical theory and orchestrating your own music compositions. Paul McCartney, one of the greatest songwriters of all time (you may know him from The Beatles), has been known to swap between guitar and piano if he can’t find inspiration on one. Most of the greatest classical composers were pianists too. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn to name a few. But learning to play the piano isn’t essential. Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Page and countless other guitarists have written some of the best songs of our era without pressing a key. Even Ringo wrote some pretty good songs. Well, for a drummer.
