Harmonize the First 8-Bar Melody

http://www.mediafire.com/?mld2eikt2a2nokn

With Chord Pogression it basically aims to have a musical goal in a harmony of some sort. It can come in a series of basically everything but mostly in Harmonies. I got my definition from certain sources on the wikia and basic knowledge from my pass piano experiences. On other terms, I've learned mostly from McCormack about the basic chords of the piano cause the first thing I ever played was the piano and it was thanks to him so this was a pretty easy task.

What inspired this composition was pure randomness as you can see. I really didn't know how to start so I just picked a random note to start off and it just skyrocketed off there.

The hardest part of doing the composition was actually following the rules, It was fine till I saw how you were actually supposed to use the notes Mr.MCCormack picked and how you were supposed to end the composition.

I enjoyed how it turned out cause it all has like the same steady beat which is something I'm not very good at so it's an accomplishment for me.

Advice to give is to not stress yourself out when your starting it cause it's pretty easy once you have the hang of what beat you'd like in the composition. 

Composition Study 1

I'll be doing research on the song "I Need to Know" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers which has been my favorite song for quite a while now.Every now and then when I play Rockband that's the first song I go to cause it's that amazing.

The song composes mainly of the piano and drums you can hear some guitar in the background during its solo.
Tom Petty was the guitarist and lead vocals, Benmont Tench as the organists and pianist , Ron Blair was the bassists and a vocalists too. Genre is mostly rock and blues

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers composed their songs during a legal change in there lives.

Three songs I didn't know about them is American Girl,Mary Jane's Last Dance, Refugee they also composed these songs too mainly cause the situation they were in during that time.
