Start 2021 off with momentum…
It’s not just the start of another year, it’s the end to a particularly exhausting one. Whatever you’re planning to accomplish this year, one thing is for certain: It’s going to take a running start and a head of steam.
So how can you build momentum and sustain a passionate drive towards achieving your next big project? Our advice is to start small and focus on only the next rung in the ladder.
- If your goal is fully finish one song — take January to focus on one element, like the lyrics or verse chord progression;
- If you’re looking to write more complex, jazzier harmonies — start by revisiting the various scale modes;
- If you want to start writing sync music for films or TV — take an old track and restylize it to fit 3 different scene moods.
It all starts with that first, crucial step. And we can help.
