Thick question

Composing turns my brain to cotton wool and I'm totally muddled up with relative majors/minors - if my piece starts off in F major and I want it to go to the minor, then I should put it into D minor?

D minor is the relative of F major, so yes i guess!

just remember, minor is like a mine, which is underground. Major is the one above. So if you want to go from minor to major go UP 3 semitones. If you want to go from major into the minor, go DOWN 3 semitones.

Hope that helps :smile:

Another question - what form is a beceuse usually written in? ABA or otherwise?

Berceuses tend to be lyric pieces meaning that the forms can be pretty free. I guess it would be sensible for them to take quite a simple form so binary, ternary, rounded binary etc would seem appropriate.
