Music is a wonderful way to share messages of positivity with our friends, families and communities. A simple song or piece of music has the power to put a smile on anyone\u2019s face, to make them laugh or to remind them how much they are loved and appreciated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We invite you to enter our \u2018Love from Glasgow\u2019 competition <\/b>with your own isolation creation!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your challenge is to write a song or a piece of music, record it and send it as a message to someone – think about friends or family that you are unable to visit right now, or those people in the community that you would like to thank for what they are doing to help us. Follow the instructions below to enter the competition!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To get started…\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Visit the CREATE Instrumental Music Service<\/a> Youtube channel where our team have been sharing their tips and tricks for song writing and creating music at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using technology\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Explore apps like GarageBand to create chord progressions for backing tracks or to add a variety of instruments to your composition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing music down\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t know how to write music? That\u2019s ok! You can improvise and record as you go or create a graphic score using lines, shapes and pictures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing lyrics\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

A great place to start could be using the structure and melody of an existing song and writing your own lyrics. Our videos have more tips for lyrics, rhyming and structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making instruments\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you don\u2019t have any instruments at home, make some! Be creative with what you have – watch our videos and learn how to create rhythms with boxes and wooden spoons!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
