4/26/22 - School Song

Image
By

We will continue to compose a school song for Bradley. Today we will compose the first verse. This should be equal in length or possibly a little longer than your chorus. Remember to keep the melody very singable. Add a harmonic chord progression to this melody. Keep it largely diatonic with some added chords. We often see secondary dominants and applied chords in school songs.
