How To Write Music (If You Can't Read It???)

In this video I use a live 24 piece orchestra to demonstrate the transformative power of live musicians. How you can do this with little to no theoretical knowledge, nor indeed by having to employ orchestrators and copyists and how (courtesy of a cheat sheet I'm making) you can blag your way into sensitive and nuanced performances by the people who are kind enough to play your music. Time to get on that ladder and practising HOW TO WORK WITH MUSICIANS. They make our lives so wonderfully easy!!!

Here's the vid I made that inspired this "Orchestral Programming Day One": https://youtu.be/wtwQMlB1Gus
