Making Music

If you are an aspiring musician, then know that making music is not as difficult as you might think.

When you think about certain genres of music, do you ever wonder how much time and effort it takes to make that music? Making music can be either a very simple process of combining a steady beat and simply adding on to it, or a process that could take even longer. I should know. I make beats on down time for myself and others to enjoy.

Most musicians have their own style of making music. Some prefer a simple blend of sounds and some prefer a mixture of different elements added to the beat. Some musicians plan and then time the sounds and beats before even putting them together. Some like myself, just fling noise together and try to make the noise into sounds that belong together. Others prefer to make beats on the fly and add onto the sound as they are performing. This is a very unique talent! Everyone has a different way of putting music together.

Speaking of media, with social media being a thing in the world, it is now easier to put music out into the world for everyone to hear and enjoy. Social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Soundcloud, iTunes, Patreon, Google plus, Youtube, have made music sharing and publishing easier.

Since there are so many ways to make music, with so many different styles in the world, there are bound to be ways for anyone with or without any musical credentials to them to make music. For myself, I've never picked up an instrument and played it properly. I love music, but I'm not very good at any instruments. So instead I took up electronic music and now have many songs under my belt. My strength in making music is the fact that I mix music to make a beat that gets you moving. My point s that anyone can make music in some form or fashion in this day and age. It all depends on what style is your personal preference.

So, if you dabble in making music, or if you're a serious artist who wants music to be their life, making music is for any and everyone to make. It is not a difficult process whatsoever, it only takes one spark of inspiration to get the ball rolling. When the ball starts rolling, it will only stop when you choose to finally stop and to see what your music has inspired in people.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
