A little general harmonic advice for starting out:
from http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=164330
Roots of chords a fourth and a fifth apart generally sound good.
Roots of chords falling a third is good.
Roots of chords rising a third is good strong to weak, but bad weak to strong. (In 4/4, the strongest beat is the 1st, then the 3rd)
Don't sandwich chords (ie, have at least 2 different chords before having the same one again).
Try to use a mixture of root position and 1st inversion chords. (Avoid second inversions)
Avoid diminished or augmented chords (eg. chord VII, and chord II in a minor key)
Avoid chord III.
Avoid the progressions II to I, and V to IV.
Avoid the bass note of a chord on a strong beat the same as the bass note of the preceding weak beat.
The top line and the bass should not approach an octave or 5th in similar motion, except by step in the top part.
The bass is also very important.
It should generally move by step whenever possible, and should not leap around all over the place.
Contrary motion between the bass and the top line is good.
My posts on Voice Leading, and my Introduction to cadences might also be useful to you.

Best way to connect PC to PA
Best way to connect PC to PA
he earphone jack on the standard laptop is electrically equivalent to an unbalanced stereo line output. Use of adaptors to break the signal out to L and R channels and then into any set of Line Level inputs on your PA will yield a very good result. (TIP: When doing this, make sure that the software mixer of your laptop has the Master and Wav, Software MIDI synth, outputs turned all the way up! This will drive the line the hardest, which is what we need here, for lowest signal to noise ratio and fullest sound. Get your volume level at the PA with the hardware fader.)
If your laptop is fairly new, there really is not a good enough advantage to buying an aftermarket soundcard for playback of programs like BIAB. This is because today's laptops are shipping with very good D-A output converters in them due to the customer demands to watch (and hear) multimedia.
*ANy noise you experience is likely due to an AC GROUND LOOP. Use of a Radio Shack Ground Loop Isolator between laptop output and PA will safely eliminate that noise. Less than $20US
