"To the Girl Who Wants to Compose"

In November 1918 Amy Beach (aka Mrs. H. H. A. Beach) wrote an article for Etude magazine titled "To the Girl Who Wants to Compose." In this episode, we dissect the article and talk about technical skills and how that relates to art, education, taking your art seriously, different types of music classification that Beach outlines, and her best advice on how to compose. This is a great episode that relates to way more than just music composition, and especially if you're searching for inspiration!Read the Article by Amy BeachWant to check out some of our favorite books?
