    can you get caught for copying a few lines of a piece of music for the composing? as in if say, a few lines from coltrane would fit into the piece?

    I don't see how you could fit it in. If you're following the standard A A1 B A2 form, phrases A1 and A2 have to be really similar to A. Then in B you have your sequence. You get most of the marks for being technically correct, not musically creative.

    well i think you would definitely get away with it if you could fit it in... for example, i happened to be learning the solo to the song "emerald" by thin lizzy on my guitar before i went to my music class (my school doesnt do music) and managed to sneak a small part of it into a melody during the music class. my teacher didnt have a clue and said the melody was fine...

    I guess its just down to your luck, if you get a melody that you can do that with then you're sorted... but i wouldn't count on it happening. :cool:
