Building tension in music using changes in loudness and melodies can be really tricky. Here are some common problems and some easy solutions:

1. Staying Consistent

   • When you change things up, it can make the music feel jumbled.
   • Solution: Pick a main theme or idea to keep everything connected.

2. Making It Too Complicated

   • If there are too many changes, listeners might get lost.
   • Solution: Stick to two or three main ideas in your music.

3. Finding the Right Balance

   • It can be hard to get the loud and soft parts just right.
   • Solution: Use loud and soft moments on purpose to create feelings.

By paying attention to these challenges, you can make the tension in your songs even stronger!
