Indeed, K-pop in Korea is surpassing Asia and rising to the billboard of the United States, the home of pop. What is the appeal of K-pop and what is the balance between popularity and musicality? And will it last a long time, or will it flow into memories of a time like Anglo-American dance pop in the 1980s.

This course introduces the thrill and techniques of string arrangement for vocal songwriters who desire the continuity of music.

Where can I learn how to arrange pop strings? A return to Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestral arrangement? An analysis of John Williams film music? These are also good methods, and many arrangers recommend them to their juniors for their musical integrity and arranging quality.

Unfortunately, the days when “boring anger power” was essential for brilliant success have passed, and “The Legend of Shaolin Temple,” which had to be written from the yard in order to become a great martial artist, has passed away. It's clear that pop string arrangements originated from classical music, but it has been enough for over 100 years for them to take on a unique form.

The principle is that drums (drums) and bass (Upright Bass) are no longer in the classical family, and just as you don't need to go back to classical music to learn the two, the same goes for string arrangements.

The difference between these two styles of music also has a lot to do with changes in the audience. If classical music in the past was “the praise of aristocrats for complex music that contrasts with a simple life,” do you think contemporary pop music is “the public's desire for simple music that contrasts with a complicated lifestyle”?

This course recognizes such changes in the times and encourages more direct and creative methods for pop string beginners. The combination of the top and bottom of the 5-part string is called X coordinate, and their arrangement change form is called Y coordinate, and then the combination of the two is explained. Do you want to study math all of a sudden? Of course, this is definitely not the case. Just to emphasize that “the method of arranging songs is surprisingly easy, and what is important in pop arrangements is a refined sensibility contained in a simple style.” In line with that intention, the examples in this course are also evenly distributed into various genres such as pop, ballad, R&B, and classical pop.
