The Truth About Music 🎵

Have you ever wondered why music speaks to everyone, no matter their background? Music isn't just something we listen to—it's part of who we are. Here are some truths about music:

  • We are all born knowing how to tap our feet, sing and enjoy music.
  • Just like the human language, music is an Instinct.
  • Music both unifies and equalizes people, breaking down barriers that separate us.
  • Music is a language of feeling, and through it, people get to know the real us.
  • Anyone can learn how to play music, regardless of age, creed or gender.
  • Learning music is simpler than it seems. Just start and give yourself the space to grow.
  • Music is a marathon, not a sprint—slow down and enjoy the journey.

Ready to create your own beats and explore endless possibilities? Electronic music is a great way to get started on your musical journey. Here's why:

  • Start making music right away while you develop rhythm and timing.
  • Simplify learning by separating music theory from learning how to play an instrument.
  • Learn one instrument, and you'll have access to hundreds of others.
  • Learn live looping and become a one-person orchestra.
  • Use filters and special effects to craft your own unique sounds.
  • Produce your own music and share it with the world.
  • Music is music—your skills in electronic music will enhance your ability to play traditional instruments.

Use Grid Controllers 🛠️

If you're new to music production, grid controllers are a game changer. Imagine creating music by simply pressing buttons.

That's the power of a grid controller like the Novation Launchpad. It's as easy as tapping a button to trigger different sounds, making it a perfect tool for beginners. Here's why:

  • Launchpads are similar to computer keyboards, making them an ideal choice for those that already know how to type.
  • They are affordable with prices ranging from $99 to $299 for new models. Used and refurbished units are much cheaper.
  • They are multi-purpose. You can play piano, viola and lay down the drum track with a single controller.
  • They will grow with you. As you get better at music you can expand your setup and add more launchpads to your arsenal.
