Question
Hello,

I was wondering if you could explain the musical form, harmony, and melody of Aerosmith's "Dream On." I am just beginning to be able to read and understand sheet music, and am currently transitioning into more complex songs.Can you break down "Dream On" musically? A quick response would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
Gina,

Unfortunately this question is outside my expertise as I know nothing about sheet music and how to read it. All I can tell you about Dream On musically is that it's a piano ballad that features the same couple of notes over and over again. I know the facts behind the song but not the form, harmony, or melody.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks,

Ross

A lot of experience. I've read books and have followed the band for 13 years now, ever since I was little. I thoroughly know their music, music videos, personal information about the members, the band's history, live shows they've done, and their songs. I've also attended two of their live shows.
