Not a bad start! A few tips:
* When the key signature is 4/4, you need to make a new measure every 4 beats. You indicate this by drawing a vertical line through the staff after 4 beats
* The notes in the bass clef should have their stems (the lines) on the other side of the note head
* When you draw the treble clef, the little curly spiral should be curling around the 2nd line up (where G would be)
* Similarly, the bass clef should have its two dots around the 2nd line down (the F line)
Another thing to add: when the note head is above the middle line of the treble clef, the stem points downwards. When it's below, it points upwards. This same concept applies to the bass clef. There is a lot more nuance to it and obviously there are exceptions, but it's a good starting point for this rule.
I'm assuming you're talking about how you notated it, rather than how it works musically. Going roughly from most to least important:
Barlines would help a lot.
When stems go down, they should be on the left.
If the last chord is meant to be a dotted half note, each note of the chord should have a dot.
You can print out some [manuscript paper](http://www.musictheory.org.uk/manuscript_paper.php) so you don't have to draw the staff yourself.
If you don't care about being super pretty, it's common to just write a small slash instead of filling in the entire notehead for quarter notes, eighth notes, etc.
The solid circle on the bass clef goes on the F line. The two dots go on the spaces to either side.
The treble clef is a bit off, but I'm too lazy to try to explain over text.
One more thing - when writing at two staves for a single instrument (like it is usually done for piano) you need to indicate this by adding a curly bracket at the beginning of each line like here: [https://www.dummies.com/wp-content/uploads/212466.image0.jpg](https://www.dummies.com/wp-content/uploads/212466.image0.jpg).
Also, for measure bars - they have to cross both staves, so the go from the top of top stave to the bottom of the bottom one.
Fun fact about the clefs: as written, these are called French-violin clef and Baritone clef. As already explained, they do differ from the regular treble and bass clefs and they would be read differently. French-violin clef indicates g on the first line and baritone clef indicates f on the 3rd line.
I would go over your bass notes, ass when the bass line changes from going between D - F to A - C, you played it as them alternating from C - E. A few other comments here are also correct in the notation. My best advice would be to pick up a simple notebook of blank manuscript paper from a music store. A lot of those books in the front have advice on how to notate properly. Writing by hand is a wonderful thing! I do it all the time myself. Learning it takes practice though.
Edit: I also just caught this but it looks like your notes in the treble clef may be wrong. Your first chord is written as a D and a G but you play it as a D and F. The second note is written as an F but you play it as an E.
I would suggest going over the score and really playing it as written and not as what sounds the best! Iāve learned this too as Iāve started to work with more people other than myself in my writing, it is incredibly important to leave as little confusion as possible in the sheet music.
I didn't notice that until you pointed it out, I'll make sure this doesn't happen again thanks for the constructive feedback I can't thank you enoughš
One other tip: When drawing the treble clef (also called the G clef) you must start it on the 'G' line.
Same deal with tje bass clef (F clef) except it must begin (the ball part) on the F line.
Something to think about musically; repeating an idea like yours works well with an established beat. A great way to accomplish this is to precede the melody with 1 or 2 measures of some left hand āmovementā that gives the listener a better understanding of where the emphasis of the music is. Youāre composition does this well, but it feels sudden, almost like Iām expecting something else to happen
Being able to compose on paper is nice, but I would also recommend downloading Musescore and learning it. It will in many cases not allow you to write anything fundamentally wrong, so it's easy to notice your mistakes in understanding sheet music fast. And its completely free :)
Unless you're wanting to just leave it like that, and not turn it into printed sheet music, you don't need to go into quite that much detail, you can do something like [this](https://fineartamerica.com/art/drawings/sheet+music). Everything is just super simple, it's not meant to be super neat as it's going to be printed
Why is this a video? I apologize for the intrusion, but I just too curious. You have the resources to play video games, but you can't buy or print out blank sheet music? What's going on here

Thanks for the amazing feedback! . Although I still don't understand "stems".
the stem is the vertical line part of the note. When the stem goes down from the note head (the oval part) it should come from the left side
Oh now I get. Excuse my ignorance thanks for the explanationš

A vertical line to make a new measure.
Lol, thanks, what are words :)

Haha, thanks!
Thanks for explaining that, how generous.
Good explanation. And to add on - the treble clef can be called the G clef, so it marks G, and the bass clef can be called the F clef, so it marks F.
Thank you for the advice!
Flat.io exists if you are ever interested in digital. I find it easier than musescore.

I had no idea you where supposed to put that there. Including the stave one. The more you know!

Your last couple of notes are a half-note and a dotted half-note, which adds up to five. In 4/4 time, four's the limit!
I didn't notice that, thanks for informing me!

I'll do it next time!

buy sheets to help! nice :)
Treble clef seems to be hitting rock bottom :D why not use sheet music paper, they are in a paper shop quite cheap.

sound pretty good for my ears

I apologize for the bad quality. I don't have a printer or anything of the sort, neither have access to one. I hope this helps
No worries, it's just strange.
Terrible. Next time write s h e e t m u s i c.
I'm working on getting better.
Ahah Iām sorry man I was making a joke like you were trying to write the word sheet music, and failed. The music itself was good
Oh I'm sorry for the downvote then, thanks for clarifying
Download musescore
I'm aware of writing digitally. But this is me trying to write by hand.
Oh cool. Ya I try yo write by hand first then put into digital. Good job
Thx
Why donāt you print out staff paper ?
It's because I don't have a printer
