We all want to be able to make sounds turn into beautiful pieces, to be able to make “something” appear out of “nothing,” and to get it down somewhere so that other people know what is happening. What are some fast ways that we can make it happen? Here are 8 Great tips for writing music Quick & Easy

• Make sure that you understand the grammar, logic, and rhetoric of music. You need to be able to understand the rules before you can break them. It will take time, but that’s the best part because all that time allows for experimentation and growth.

• Get some inspiration: you can’t start writing music if you don’t know what you want to write about. Don’t overthink it, you may be hindering your creative process if you do that.
• What’s the instrument? Are you trying to write music & create sheet music? 
• Once you know what you want, set some rules for what you are about to do. What’s the genre? The time signature? The key? How many times will the chorus repeat? Will there be a bridge? Understand exactly what you’re looking for and if you can’t decide– why not just pick arbitrarily?

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

• Once you know what you want, set some rules for what you are about to do. What’s the genre? The time signature? The key? How many times will the chorus repeat? Will there be a bridge? Understand exactly what you’re looking for and if you can’t decide– why not just pick arbitrarily?
• Keep replaying the tune as you compose it. It is so important that you listen to what you are doing step-by-step. When you listen to the music as you develop it, it helps you understand the process and what you are producing so much better.
• Ask for help! Friends can be, well, your best friend! Always ask for advice and for feedback, that’s the best way to learn because, ultimately, you do not know what other people will be thinking and they’re likely able to provide new information to you.
• If you’re struggling– take a break! Overthinking is a composer’s worst enemy. Sometimes it is just best to step away and think about other things, so that you are not wasting your energy and becoming frustrated.

Writing Music abilities won’t come immediately. As they say, “practice makes perfect,” and the saying is absolutely true. Don’t worry if pieces don’t come out perfect the first time, or even if projects get abandoned. It’s a huge learning process and that is what makes it so exciting.
