Steal ideas to create your own music

If I’m trying to write music and just get some type of music written (whether or not it’s released) I’ll steal ideas from music that I enjoy listening to.

I don’t steal full melodies or lyrics, but I’ll take pieces.

Maybe there’s a chord progression I heard that I wanted to use. Maybe there’s a chord loop I liked. Maybe it’s just a few notes in a melody or a rhythm. Maybe it’s just a specific sound or synth.

I’ll take that idea and try to make something out of it.

It’s a great exercise to get yourself thinking of ideas and writing. It’ll give you a little head start into writing a piece of music that’ll maybe inspire you.
