Hello. I`m a very amateur composer.
I write mostly fusion mixed with rock and classical and what not. Or should I say...I try to write.
I can read notes perfectly. And I know a lot of basic stuff in music theory. But my music is just...I don`t know. If I have a song in my head, and I want to write it, I can`t. My music is lacking something, and if I could I would return to the music academy. But that`s not possible at the moment, so I was wondering if someone could give me tips, or help. Anything... Please.

It would help if you identify the notes by ear. Do you know what I mean? Its like playing an instrument by ear. Hearing the notes and knowing what they are.
