The start kind of sounds like the War of the Worlds theme. Intentional?

[sillyplug]

No, actually. I played the melody in and worked up from there on this piece but the whereabouts of the melody drove me nuts.

what grade did you get for this?

[sillyplug]

Didn't get one in the end. My teacher told me that it was just a practice composition and that it wouldn't be entered for grading.

What is GCSE?

[sillyplug]

Well, in the UK, you have to pass exams in a certain number of subjects; these exams help you obtain your GCSE.

GCSE stands for: General Certificate of Secondary Education; I'm not sure what the system is in the US but if it helps, it's the studies that you take when you're about 15/16 years old.

Make sure that you're using a good sequencer to compose with, always make sure that you're composing with the metronome click so that it's easier to quantise and so you can more easily play in time - try to use a wide variety of instruments, as not doing so could result in your work sounding the same.

Is there anything in particulay that you're having trouble with?
