Best Way to Learn Music

Music has been an important part of a human life for thousands of years. Over the time, new ideas have been introduced, new tools to produce music, and so on. With so much information online, it is hard for a beginner to decide how to start. How do we start?

Basics of Music Theory

We recommend you to try our interactive guide at jampea.com/learn, wehre you can learn all the basics of music theory. Try to read it slowly and carefully, spend at least one hour on each article, to make sure you understand all the concepts :)

Once you know the basic concepts of music, you can continue with the next steps:

• start learning to play a music instrument, like a piano or a guitar
• learn music notation (e.g. here), which can be useful when reading or writing music
• learn how to create music digitally. There are "two kinds" of software:
  • Notation-based - Musescore, Guitar Pro or Finale
  • piano-roll-based - FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, etc.

Keep in mind, that in order to do any of these steps, you will need a basic understanding of music theory, such as jampea.com/learn. Otherwise, you will be confused and you will get stuck very often. Your progress (e.g. when learning how to play drums or when trying to make music in FL Studio) will be much slower.

Jampea

Jampea.com is a tool for creating music digitally. It is an editor of MIDI files (load them, edit them and export them), but it can import music in many different formats (MuseScore, Guitar Pro, MusicXML, ...). It allows you to switch between the "piano roll" view and the "notation" view. It is very simple to use: simply read Article 1 and Article 2 :)
