When you have completed the first step of composition project 1 — Write a progression of 12 to 16 chords of your own invention for piano, using only whole notes and solid (non-broken) chords, with no octave doublings; none of the chords should sound like an obvious sonority in functional harmony — and are satisfied with the result, you should begin writing the first of your three compositions based on your chord progression. Aim to finish one piece per week, with an additional week to make any final revisions (although you should be making revisions as you go as well).
We will listen to and comment on your works-in-progress this week, so make sure to bring three copies of your scores, as well as some way of playing them (live or via computer is fine).
Here are links to blogs with more information on how to proceed; in particular, the second link below should be helpful:

Good luck!
