Committee Notes

Heyo guys. So when I think of happy music,

##1067814
I think of things that make me happy like hanging with friends and jamming. So in this song, I did more acoustic instruments. I find that music box gives it a happy feeling. Major chords will also make your song happy and give it that cheery vibe. Piano left hand arpeggios sound really nice and bright.

But this is my interpretation. Happiness can be brought out in many ways. Let your’s shine through your piece and yeah. Anything can be cheery in a major chord progression. Be creative.
