A composer's training typically involves mastering key concepts such as melody writing, harmony, and counterpoint, among other vital concepts. However, I personally believe that cultivating emotional intelligence and a sense of depth is one of the most crucial skills for a composer. The most significant works are those that possess depth and profound emotional content.

Some might argue that there are various approaches, but I prefer to categorize them broadly into two categories: the Inspiration approach and the Technique approach. The Inspiration approach incorporates elements from the Technique approach. Some composers awaken with a melody or something that feels divinely inspired. They then apply techniques to develop it into complete compositions. On the other hand, the Technique approach relies on theorized methods for creating and varying melodies, as well as crafting underlying harmonies. Melodies must adhere to certain rules, such as voice leading, and harmonies are constructed based on chord functions or, in a more modern style, more freely.
