HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR MUSIC TALENT

To be a good musician is more of just singing, there are other things that need to be done, in this tutorial i will be talking on that read and be bless

1. Choosing an Instrument
If your goal is to become an on-stage rocker in a scruffy punk band, it's true that you could learn a lot about music playing the oboe, but it probably isn't the best way to form the band you want to form. If you want to play classical music and become a virtuoso, there's little room for synthesizer, unfortunately. Pick a category of instrument that fits your ambitions for being a musician.

• If you just want to learn to play something, start on piano, violin, or guitar. These instruments generally have the most teachers in a given area, making it easy to find lessons and learn the basics of the instrument.
• If you'd like to eventually play classical, art music, or jazz, it's important to pick up an instrument in the classical string category, a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument. These players generally dedicate lots of time and scholarship to learning their instrument.
• If you want to write your own songs and play pop music, it's usually best to pick up a guitar, bass guitar, piano, or learn to play the drum kit. While it's great to take lessons, lots of pop and folk musicians are self-taught, using DIY books, YouTube videos, and good old-fashioned trial and erro

2. Consider Starting On Piano
Even if you don't envision yourself being a concert pianist doing recitals in a tux, one of the best ways to build a good foundation as a musician is to learn piano. Because all the notes are laid out in front of you, piano makes an excellent first instrument, popular with young children and beginners. It's also one of the most versatile instruments, played in classical, pop, and many other styles of music.

• Real upright or concert pianos can be expensive, but electric keyboards come at a variety of prices, from affordable to very professional and expensive. The great thing about piano is that you can learn the necessary fingerings and fundamentals regardless of the quality of the piano you're playing.

3. Learn about the classical instruments.
Used in concert music, jazz, pep bands, swing bands, and other types of sheet-music played by instrumentalists, classical instruments refer to the many different varieties of instruments played in organized professional bands that play something other than pop music. If you love complicated, artistic, and sophisticated music and history, learning one of these instruments would be appropriate for you.

• While they're not actually made of brass anymore, brass instruments are made of winding metal tubes that you blow through to create a tone.
• Woodwinds are made of composite materials and are played by vibrating a reed that's held in a mouthpiece. Producing a distinctive warm and woody sound, woodwinds are used in classical music and jazz, and saxophones are used often in pop music.
• Pick up a classical string. Used in orchestras, string quartets, and other types of professional ensembles, violins, violas, double-basses, and cellos form the foundation of the classical strings. Guitars could also be considered a classical string, depending on the style of music.

4. Consider pop or rock instruments. 
While all these instruments can be used to play a variety of styles and sounds, when we think of playing pop music or starting a band of our own, we usually think of guitar, bass guitar, drums, and keyboards or piano. If you're less interested in being the kind of musician who plays in a tuxedo at a concert hall and more interested in being in a garage band that tours around in a van, these might be the right instruments for you.

• Guitar
• Bass guitar
• Drums

5. Practice constantly. 
Even if you have a natural talent for a certain instrument, there's a difference between "playing an instrument" and "being a musician." That difference involves practice. Musicians are dedicated to improve their skills and learn new techniques and more complicated music on the instrument they've chosen. The only way to do that is regular and serious practice.

• Develop good practice habits and routines for yourself. Always practice using good posture, warm up beforehand, and try practicing for at least 20-40 minutes each day. Practice a mixture of techniques, skills, and fun activities. For every scale you learn, take the time to mess around learning the Star Wars theme or some other fun song.

• Like when you exercise your body, consistency is very important. Try to practice every day, so you can maintain the good habits that you're building and develop them.

6. Find a good teacher. 

It's very difficult to learn music from a book alone. While written tutorials can be helpful, there's no substitute for in-person, one-on-one instructions that come from lessons with a good teacher. A teacher can help to correct your technique and build the fundamentals necessary to be a great player, whatever instrument you play.

• If you want to become a musician, it's very important that you be teachable. Hard-headed people who can't take criticism don't have much of a future as musicians. Listen closely to what good players say, follow directions, and learn everything you can. Make it your goal to get better.
• If you don't have the time or money to have a formal teacher-student relationship, find musicians who are better than you to play with. Evening jam sessions on the porch with a couple of guitars can be a great way to improve your skills. Watch and learn.

7. Consider learning to read music. 

While you can play by ear, it can be good if you can learn how to read sheet music, and is absolutely essential for certain instruments and styles. If you want to play classical music, it's almost impossible to learn by ear and rote memorization.

• Also, learn musical history and some theory if you hope to compose your own music one day. Learning why certain notes sound good together, how to make a chord, and how music actually works is the best way to improve as an instrumentalist and as a composer, whatever instrument you play.

8. Listen to everything. 

Developing your own taste in music is critical for musicians. Just like a novelist has to read a wide variety of novels and learn about the history of literature to write something worth reading, a musician needs to listen to a wide variety of music and learn to appreciate different styles of music, if you ever want to write something worth hearing, or play music that deserves to be heard.

• Listen to classical music, starting with old court-based consort music and moving your way up through the romantic composers like Mozart and Beethoven. Try listening to the 20th century avant-garde composers like Penderecki and Cage to challenge your conceptions of what music is.
• Listen to rock music, of all strains, even if it's not your cup of tea. Check out early punk, rockabilly, and psychedelic nuggets. Listen to what's popular and what's not. Try to find something worth listening to and ignore the rest.
• When you find something you like, look back to the influences. If you like Katy Perry, you might find out that Cher and Madonna are huge influences on her style and sound. When you listen to Cher, you might work your way back to Etta James, and eventually work your way back to Bessie Smith, one of the greatest early blues singers of all time. Find the roots of your favorite artists.

9. Start writing your own compositions. 
To grow as a musician and to take your skills to the next level, it's a great idea to give composition a shot. Whether you play classically or play pop music, writing your own songs can help you see the difference between playing notes and making music much more quickly than almost anything else. Take the responsibility to write the notes you play.  

10. Find your own voice on your instrument. 

Miles Davis could never nail the horn technique of vibrato while learning to play his horn, so he built a whole career around a singular, sonorous, clean tone that never wavered. When asked why his band played so chuggingly, like a freight train, Johnny Cash responded, "We'd play faster if we could." Recast your supposed weaknesses as individual quirks and strengths and use them to become an individual player.
