hello everyone could someone help me understand what are the fundamentals that I need to learn to create/ compose music . So far I learned and chords and scale but I feel everyone talking about them is just giving us a ‘’quick’’ way to make things that sound good together not really teaching us how to use it for exemple to figure out how to make a melody we got in our head and so on .
i feel many resources aren’t actually teaching us how to make things from our head into actual concrete songs , rather most of them are focusing on ‘’learn the fundamentals and make a song without planning according to the fundamentals you’ve learned ‘’
so any help / list / clarification would be good . Thanks in advance
