highschhol ending in couple weeks

I made this waltz while thinking about all the great experiences I had in highschool so far. As I graduate and go into university next year, I hope to carry these experiences with me and continue to compose more music!
I was inspired by joe hisaishi and nostalgia from studio ghibli music.
Hope you enjoy!

[@JojoTheWarrior]

[@Random_game]

omg, is like merry go around life, i like it, very very well

[@SionGang]

thankyou :)

[@doc71]

I can definitely, DEFINITELY hear the studio ghibli influence. It sounds like something I would hear in Howl's Moving Castle or The Wind Rises. Thanks for this, I just finished highschool today so this was perfect. Excellent work

[@SionGang]

Thank you!! Yeah i'm pretty sure the chord progression is the same or similar to Howl's Moving Castle. I wish you luck for your plans post highschool!

[@CemGenc01]

@@SionGang what chord progression does that happen to be?

Yess it's a great piece!

[@Emre10055]

How do you compose such a waltz? What's like the theory behind the chord progressions and stuff

[@SionGang]

I start off with the melody by singing out loud. Then I write it down on musescore. and then I put the chords down. For the chords, its usually related to the notes of the melody. For me, I imagine the sound of the chords that seem to fit the melody and then write it down. Usually trying to find the bass note of the chord helps alot. Then, you could build the chord on top of the bass note. Playing on the piano helps a lot as well. The chord progression: 2, 5, 1, 6 makes up most of it. I think creating a singable melody that sounds good without chords is the key.
