We encourage creativity and originality.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a smartphone, tablet, or computer, there are a variety of music making apps. Many are free, or low cost. Especially smartphone and tablet apps. Often a fraction of the price of computer software counterparts.<\/li>\n<li>A drum machine or beat making app can often get you grooving and spark a creative new song.<\/li>\n<li>Stuck on lyrics? Pick up a book, magazine, or newspaper. Turn to a random page. Write a song about the first few words that your eyes land on.<\/li>\n<li>Pick up a chord dictionary. Turn to a random page until you find a cord you don&#8217;t know or seldom use. Use that card to start creating a unique cord progression.<\/li>\n<li>Cord progression generating app.<\/li>\n<li>Find a song that you really like. Pencil down the cord progression. Now change it up. Add, delete and modify a few of the cords. Maybe go back the cord dictionary for ideas. Now play it in a different style or rhythm. If it&#8217;s disco, try a hip hop beat. If it&#8217;s country , try rock n&#8217; roll. You get the idea.<\/li>\n<li>Phone a friend. Sometimes people are full of creative ideas.<\/li>\n<li>Go for a walk in nature. Always good for helping the mind state and enhancing creativity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Major Foundation Part 2\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/505474556?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GrooveBox &#8211; Generative Learning App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Groovebox on IOS is what I call a GENERATIVE LEARNING app. It generates cool music AND helps you to learn music at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can pick a key, a scale, or a mode and the app will generate some cool music to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know anything about scales or modes, you can just pick one. Listen to what it sounds like, take a peek at the notes that the app generates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also record your own ideas into the app. There is a simplified keyboard mode that makes music creation virtually mistake proof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check out the Launchad App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Launchpad is another uber-simple music creation app. Pick a sound set in the genre of music that you like. Just press the buttons to turn the sounds on and off. Or swipe across an entire row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can select a key as long as it&#8217;s a minor key. Mess with the tempo. If you have an instrument handy, pick it up and play along. Or make up some lyrics and sing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/RetroFunk-1024x768.png\" alt=\"Launchpad Music App\" class=\"wp-image-261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/RetroFunk-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/RetroFunk-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/RetroFunk-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/RetroFunk-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/RetroFunk-425x319.png 425w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/RetroFunk.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brain Learns More by Creation &#8211; than it does by repetition, memorization, reading or listening.
