If you are struggling to come up with the start to your new composition or song – have no worry!
Today we are going to talk about a simple game/exercise that can spark your creative juices.
Start by taking some famous brand commercials – either by obtaining them online or just from pure memory when watching them on television. From there, erase from your memory what the music was in that commercial.
Now, be the composer and write a little musical logo or jingle that would appear at the end of the commercial. Most musical logos are only a few notes long, so this task shouldn’t be exhausting – but it does force you to be creative by making a musical jingle that consumers of the product will remember.
Or, even make up your own product. However, the focus should be on the composing of the motif that can be later recycled as a new musical work.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read! Feel free to
