So you want to make music, but where do you start?

Ask Simply Mary Podcast, Music Production, Musicians

At 14 years old, Jalyn Fisher has a strong interest in ALL things music, but where does she even begin to start when there are so many different things to learn and so many changes in this fast paced industry?

Today on Ask Simply Mary I would like to give Jalyn a plan of action to learn all the things she is dying to know about making music. We will be covering the 6 stages of Music Production that are critical to creating a good song. The great thing about this, is that each step has a future with positions and jobs in the industry somewhere. Do not fall into thinking you need to know it ALL, let me reassure you that you don't. Don't get me wrong, the more you know the better, but be realistic with your direction, you will grow along with your education and that does take time. Eventually you will be educated in all the areas you will need to be.

Below you will be able to study any process you would like to go over through Wikipedia by clicking on the words highlighted in blue.

Don't forget to use your Google skills and find some suitable videos on YouTube, or other Social Media forums to place yourself among some of the musicians you most aspire to be like. You are not a copycat but you can benefit greatly learning from others.

*Don't forget to share with others later too ;)

Get yourself around people who are working in the Music Industry, if you put yourself around like minded individuals you will find the most growth. Also, don't forget to join your high school marching band, concert band or show choir! Trust me, you WILL USE THAT KNOWLEDGE LATER. IT IS PRICELESS!

Also look around your local area for different Centers for the Arts and organizations you can start to become a part of right now, in some way, shape or form. You will have more connections to people who are interested in the same things. Don't let stigmas and such petty things distract you from the big prize here. Some people won't join band in high school or they end up missing other opportunities because of what others may think. Don't let anything like this hold you back. This is the future YOU are interested in, so you need to seek out every experience that you can to be sure that you know this is what you want to do. After all, even the time you are putting into things now is an investment, you are literally investing in yourself here. So I would love to see you make good investments without missing out on anything. With all that said, let's get going on the podcast where I will elaborate some more on each important step that you will be using to make music. The 6 Stages of a Song Songwriting Lyrics, composition and song structure basics.
