Can someone please offer me some advice on my piano compositions?
I'm 15 years old and when I compose a piece, I always use either major or minor chords all the time and it just sounds really 2-D if you know what I mean. Also, my pieces always happen to have the chord sequence: I - V - VI - III - IV -I - II ( or something like that I don't really know how to write it out) and it just sounds really predictable and boring.
Are there any chords out there that are NOT just major or minor and I'm not talking about like modern music. I'm trying to compose piano pieces for like pop, NOT classical - like the kindof music for the piano accompaniment for Christina aguilera songs. Also any other chord progressions that I can use? Oh yeah, and just naming the chords won't help because I wouldn't know what notes to play - can you also tell me the notes within that particular chord please? thankyou very much
Try mixing major and minor chords--for example, if you play in C minor, try progressing from that chord to an Ab major chord (Ab-C-Eb)--that progression sounds beautiful and can go so many places, like Bb (Bb-D-F) which could lead back to the C minor, or to Eb (Eb-G-Bb) which could become a resolution to the relative major chord. The most important thing is to experiment--music doesn't have to follow the formulas they teach in school...they just provide some direction. You're welcome to e-mail me through my profile if you want more help, and good luck!

Be Mindful With IPhone Music Downloads
Although part of the fun of having an iPhone is being able to play your favorite music from MP3 files, you do have to keep yourself safe withy iPhone music downloads. Cyber criminals target music downloads in order to break into your electronics and get a hold of your personal data. They also can send you really annoying adware - although you don't get your identity stolen, you do have to waste time and battery power dealing with constant advertisements.
What Not To Do
You definitely should never click on a link for iPhone music downloads from an unsolicited email, unsolicited fax or from a pop-up ad. This is one of the favorite ways cyber criminals load spyware onto your iPhone and then your computer. They set up what are called Trojan horses (after the one in the Greek myth). Like the magical wooden horse that actually houses Greek soldiers, a modern day Trojan horse is a data file like free iPhone music downloads that hide spyware.
You also never want to download iPhone music downloads from anyone sending them to you when you are on a peer to peer (P2P) network like Usenet. Although the instant communication is neat, there is a distinct lack of security to P2P networks. This is why cyber criminals love to hang out on P2P networks - they can't be detected. Even if your friend sends you free iPhone music downloads, delete the files immediately, and then delete your Delete files.
What You Should Do
Although it sounds like a drag, the only completely safe way of getting iPhone music downloads is to pay Apple iTunes for them. There are a few other legitimate low cost MP3 services such as Rhapsody and Napster. You need to download their software and sometimes a monthly fee in order to get access to thousands of iPhone music downloads from all kinds of music categories. These places often come with a free trial so you can see if your computer and iPhone get along with the service.
Or, you can just buy the CDs of your favorite artists and make MP3 files yourself. That's one of the safest ways to build up a music library. And if your iPhone crashes or breaks, then you don't have to loose your entire music library, too. Buying CDs also helps supports your favorite artists, who really don't see much money for their hard work. Not unless they have a deal with iTunes, that is.
