When we set out to get better as composers, we often think of all the music theory or technical aspects we need to tackle. But what if I told you there are ways to improve your compositions without focusing on the composing process itself?So on today’s episode, I want to unpack 4 ways to get better at writing music that have next to nothing to do with music theory or production techniques. Plus we feature a cue written by a member of the 52 Cues community, and this week, we’re gonna be taking a listen to “Never Look Back,” a campaign underscore cue by Reed Gesteland (https://www.taxi.com/members/C6O_tuNERYKzOl5QJvAXNw-reed-gesteland), which was returned by Taxi so we’ll see if we can to the bottom of why that might not have made the cut.Watch this episode on YouTube!https://youtu.be/g4Havt-3-IE00:00 – Intro & Welcome02:16 – 1.
