probably the single best composing video i've ever seen on this platform. it has a helpful structure, everything is explained clearly with examples and there's a refreshing lack of meandering and bullshit. also, unlike most instruction aimed at beginners which usually only covers very basic techniques, it has a very wide range of concepts, from beginner to advanced, providing plenty of places to look for inspiration. i will definitely use this whenever i decide to go back to composing.
@DavidBennettPiano
Lovely to collab again! Thanks for another great video ❤🎼🎵
@Bills_Place
I wasn't paying attention when I clicked on this, thought it was going to be a quick one with maybe a dozen ideas. By the time it was over I wanted to try nearly all of them.

This video is one of the very few videos on YouTube that goes into my category of a ‘Landmark video’; a video that quite literally is something that has never ever been done in this way before. This is an extraordinary video, truly landmark. I can tell clearly that this is a labour of love for you, because there is so much here that you didn’t HAVE to include but still did. The background audio/music for all the hundreds of musical examples is something that alone must have taken you a long time! As a composer myself who is currently studying music at uni, its incredible how many of these techniques I use regularly in my work but without ever being explicitly taught them like you have in this video; I just learnt through a lot of listening and practicing. Just phenomenal work David 👏
@krismer6420
Brilliant video for both beginners who need the basics, and someone like me who’s always looking for ideas to experiment with. thanks as always
@MariUSukulele
great lesson Danke fröm Germany 🇩🇪
@a_little_flame589
this is so insanely useful in the classical composing world (and the classical world as a whole) we seem to have a sort of attitude of people either having to be able to compose naturally or having to get individual lessons (I'm currently getting the latter on a hope that just maybe I could grow up poor and hating my life) but showing just the basics in a youtube video is going to help so many people (also got to love how your getting all the newbs to use non functional harmony that's honestly kind of fun)
@tomascarney5505
Thank you for presenting all these techniques in such a clear and concise manner. Exceptionally well done.
@Stevie-Steele
Outstanding video! I love the editing style of your videos - I think even people who have ZERO interest in composition might find it entertaining and intriguing purely based on how pleasing this editing style is!
@Blackenwhitkaeys
One of the best videos I've watched recently. Incredible conciseness while spanning so widely
@glennsewell6980
I am going to return to this video often. Simply outstanding. Thank you, David!
@billsybainbridge3362
Another fabulous video with expansive explanatory power! A very thorough list of possible transformations. Thanks, David; and many future autodidactic composers thank you as well. :)
@AbComp870
Brilliant primer on composition for a lone, home guitarist like me. I’ll be coming back to this video for reference frequently to help galvanize my rambling noodling into something keepable. Thanks so much!
@EricMartinPercussion
Simply an incredible amount of info in one video. Basically a whole composition textbook! Thank you for making this!
@Chip87
I want this as a cheat sheet I can keep next to my piano for composing, super helpful for writing block!
@elusive1970
This is jaw droppingly useful no matter what level you are. Bookmarked this thing and I'm sure I'll be back. Thank you David David David Bruuuuce.
@eddjcaine
I like all of these thoughts - I find when I sit down to compose, I do all of these things naturally and I end up with a sort of nihilistic fog - everything starts to reduce down from these options of progression to “ok well I could just do anything, why do anything at all” and I go and make a cup of tea and stare out of the window for a bit
@solomongilbert3186
It's a delight to have you back
@lukastux3024
Fantastic video to encourage us to just try something ourselves :) Rookie guides are the best :)
