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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
