Exercises from Composing Music: A New Approach

I used to write music when I was a kid. Now, many years later, I've come back to it, inspired by participating in my church's worship ministry. Based on recommendations from the r/composer subreddit, I've chosen William Russo's Composing Music: A New Approach (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1983) as a way to wade back in and develop my skills.

On this set of pages I'll link to my uploaded exercises and write some observations. There are 191 exercises, so I'm splitting the list into separate pages by chapter.

I'm tracking my progress through the exercises on this spreadsheet.
