Secret Composer Synopsis

1 – To quickly establish a fun feel, use the raised 4th of the current key prominently throughout the melody.

2 – Use a rhythmic vamp that alternates quickly between the root chord and Major chord found one whole tone above the root (a C Major chord alternating briefly with a D Major chord). That alternating D chord emphasizes the raised 4th in the key of C.

3 – Use light, colorful orchestration such as pizzicato strings, woodwinds and bells.

4 – Change keys and instrumental colors often. Don't have the same instrument play the same melody for too long. This helps to keep the music fresh.

5 – When writing fun, happy music, use the raised 4th prominently.
