## Resource

Download the free guide “5 Spells Every Composer Needs” and learn interval-based techniques you can use immediately in your compositions: https://musicintervaltheory.academy/spells/ In this episode, Frank explains why many composers feel slow: they try to generate and refine at the same time. By separating the creative phase (draft one) from the development phase (draft two), composers can work faster, think more clearly, and reduce creative friction. The key is to write the simple core idea first and shape it later. Speed in composing is not about talent—it’s about process.
