NCA to Offer Two-Day Film Music Symposium with John Capek

            NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Nashville Composers Association and Film-Com are pleased to present the two-day seminar “Music – The Script Support System” with composer, songwriter, keyboard player and arranger John Capek from April 13-14 at Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios on Music Row.

  

            As both a composer and songwriter, John’s symposium will give composers a unique opportunity to learn how to write to picture via song — “scoring a scene in the form of a song”, and how various compositional techniques can be utilized in both score and song for picture. 

Sign Up by midnight Friday, March 29:  http://nashvillecomposers.org/events/registration/

Topics that will be covered in the symposium include:

DAY ONE:

THE OTHER HALF OF A SONG, MELODY AND HARMONY

            * Scoring music to lyric and scoring music to story.

            * Intros, endings, cadences, tension and release. Why do we care? How do you make a melody?

            * Do we need to be great instrumentalists to be great songwriters? Is tempo important and does it matter what key the song is in. Minor keys, what do they mean?

            * Do these words fit my melody?

            * Music is the other half of a song. It often takes second place in the songwriting process where lyric is king. Except for the fact that great melodies are the thing that history remembers.

            * This class discusses the process of music making in our songs and how to make better melodies and harmonies.

DAY TWO:

INTERACTIVE GROUP SONGWRITING EXERCISE:

LET’S WRITE AN ANTHEM TOGETHER

            * Writing a song is a creative process. What do Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and Socrates have in common with songwriters?  More than you would imagine.

            * How do we create something from nothing? What is the path we take to get from a musical point A to point B. How do we get inspired?

            * This is a class that covers the most basic fundamentals of writing songs, and then extends the process into an exploration of invention, creativity and inspiration.

            * How do we know our song is finished? What is prosody and why do we care? What comes first, music or lyrics? Why am I not getting cuts?

            Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring a notebook or score paper for the interactive exercise! All symposium attendees are invited to a Film-Com networking event on the evening of April 13 (Saturday) from 7 to 10 p.m.  Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be provided.  Feel free to bring your business cards, demos, or any other promotional materials!
