Mash-up Music Lesson



Making music is not just about writing lyrics 
                   or forming some kind of melody. 
Making music can be fun even if it is not completely your own.  
What I like to do is
       come up with ways to take an artists message 
       find little connections with other songs,
       (particularly in different genre's)
       with the same message
and connect them all through the same simple beat or chord pattern


for instance..






The chords are so simple and the songs send the same message. The artists are unique with different stories but the songs still flow so easily.


If you are a musician, try it.
Take songs with the same message 
and find a way to put them together.
Even if they sound completely different,
 use your vocals to form similarities. 

I hope this blog message was helpful to anyone looking for some fun ways to practice music..


           or just another reason to love it!
