Play with song structure
Arrange the whole song yourself.
Lesson 3 of 3
Only the chords are on. Decide which parts play in each section and build the song’s arc from the intro to the outro.
Your arrangement
Start by switching on the drums.
| Intro | Verse | Chorus | Verse | Chorus | Outro | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drums | ||||||
| Bass | ||||||
| Chords | ||||||
| Melody |
Ideas to try
Bring the parts in one by one through the intro and first verse. Make the second chorus the biggest moment. End with the chords alone. Try a version where the melody only appears in the choruses.
That completes Music basics: beats, notes, chords, basslines, melodies and song structure. Open any grid in TuttiDAW to keep going, or continue with Sound basics to design your own sounds.
