Sounds simple, and the truth is that it is. It only gets hard when you make it hard.

The simplest arrangement is Intro-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-(A solo, for example)-chorus-Finish.

All it really is, is figuring out when instruments start, when the beat starts and when they stop. How often you use your chorus, how long you let a hook ride. If you don’t try to over think everything, the song will “tell you” how it should be arranged.

Style and song feel plays the biggest role in how you arrange a song. Softer songs generally start with a guitar or keyboard intro, then let the beat come in. More exciting songs often start with the bass, or full rhythm section, then add the rest. In your face tracks typically blast you with a loud intro using everything.

The truth is that their are no rules for arranging a song. I know people hate to hear that sort of thing, but its true. Listen to ten rappers and their producers will each have their own style of arranging songs. The same goes for all music. Part of what makes an artists or groups style is how they like to arrange songs.

Some don’t bother at all, or use arrangements loosely. Free style rappers, jam bands like the grateful dead and others, just do what they feel at the time.

Try starting with a Hi-Hat hitting on each beat. Then add your kick in a steady rhythm. Add a clap after every second Kick (kick–Kick–Clap–Kick–Kick–Clap). Then arrange some other percussion around that. Use different sounds in the same rhythms in a rotating pattern. For example use three toms for the first use of your rhythm, then do the same thing with two toms and a snare, then with three snares, then go back to the three toms.

That’s a simple way to assemble a Beat.

Try using a break. Use a single element of your rhythm to keep things going, but drop out the rest of the beat for a short time.

The possibilities are truly only limited by your imagination.

Most people have music in their souls, aside from the rare person that is completely tone deaf. It is the universal language. A way anyone can communicate. I don’t need to speak German to understand Beethoven, his music speaks to me.

I love to make music of my own, and while I don’t think I will ever have the ability to speak the way the great composers did, I still have a voice. That is a wonderful feeling. To be able to make something all on my own, that I can give to anyone form any country and they will hear me. No need for words, just the pure soul and wonder of music.

Is there any wonder why I consider making music to be the greatest hobby?

The best part is that modern software and affordable loops make it obtainable for anyone. If you have a computer, and can afford to spend a months worth of fast food stops, on your software and sound loops, you can make any kind of music you want. It doesn’t matter if the only one that hears it is you. The ability to sit down and make something beautiful is worth the effort it takes.

With a little knowledge and heart you can make music a fruitful and rewarding hobby, even a potential career.
