In Utah, as in most other parts of the country, there are many people who listen to a broad range of music: from Oldies to Emo and from Blues to Hip Hop. These varying tastes in music are reflected in by the concerts in Utah during any given year.

Utah’s concerts range from the biggest names in Hip Hop and Country music to Rock and Roll acts that you might have thought had been dissolved in the 80’s. There seems to be just as much excitement for a Cyndi Lauper or Pretenders reunion tour as for a tour from Snoop Dog or The Foo Fighters. The shear dynamism of Utah concert goers - in age and musical taste makes Utah a “must stop” for most any musical act.

This site focuses on classical music and their composers, a tradition which originated before radio and recordings, back when all music was live music. It was played by live human beings for other live human beings, with everybody together in the same room. When heard in this way, classical music can have a special excitement. Hearing classical music in a concert can leave you feeling refreshed and energized. It can be fun. It can be romantic. It can be spiritual.

Classical music concerts can seem like snobby affairs full of foreign terminology and peculiar behavior. It can be hard to understand what’s going on. It can be hard to know how to act. It can be hard to find the restroom. In some ways a concert is like a ballgame; both concerts and ballgames have their rules of behavior and their rituals, and both can be baffling if you don’t know what’s going on.

First off, you have your intro. An intro is just as it sounds, the introduction. Your song can be introduced by any instrument or vocalization. In fact, some songs don’t even have true intros so you can skip this part or make it a short rhythm or chord sequence. You basically are just looking for a start to your song, an opening…going from nothing to something. Next you have your verse. When learning how to write a song, you have to realize that this is the core of what your song is about.

You are learning and learning how to write a song require practice just like anything else you do.
