Looking for Inspiration?
Here are 3 tips to get you going:
1. Figure out how to play your favorite song on your instrument...by ear! That's right, don't go searching for the sheet music -- use your natural talents. Try a pop song, or movie theme...maybe even a commercial jingle!
2. Click on the "More..." tab above and choose "Links & Resources" to check out some great music sites.
3. Get with your friends and play...anything! Like most things in life, music is more fun when you play with others.
