I’ve been working with Artificial intelligence (AI) in my real job for a amount of time. I’m amazed at how far it’s come but also a bit concerned about it’s role in future art creation, to include music. For instance, it’s not going to be an issue for someone to click a button and generate a hit song or promotion video with just text prompts. Can’t sing, AI will do that as well for you. With that much power, it would seem as if anyone can be an artist and creativity would be based on randomization when the content is pulled from the AI resource library. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how AI could devalue the hard work of real artist as it’s already happening now with images and NFT’s. The entertainment side will be more important than ever from my foxhole.
So, for fun, I wanted to get the AI take on some musician tips. This article was NOT written by me and even the image on the header was created by AI. It was not edited by me and is the exact text generated by AI when I asked it to create some Musician Tips. I kind of agree with the AI and but don’t know about Michael Jackson singing in a toilet. Enjoy!
Setting a Goal
To accomplish anything, you need to set a goal.
If you’re an aspiring musician, it’s important to define the problem before trying to solve it. Be specific: What is your goal? Don’t say “I want to be successful.” Instead, be specific about what type of success you want (i.e., sales records, online streams). The more clear and specific your goals are, the easier they will be to achieve.
Don’t worry about what other people’s goals are; focus on setting your own personal ones—and make sure they’re ambitious but realistic!
Practice, Practicing, Keep Practicing
Practice, practice, practice. It’s the key to success. Just ask any successful musician (which is likely anyone reading this). The thing about practicing is that it’s important to get in the habit of doing it and keep doing it, but don’t overdo it! You don’t want to be practicing so much that you start hating music or your instrument or whatever else you might be playing. Practice should be fun – if you’re not having fun while practicing then there’s something wrong with your attitude toward the craft itself and how much patience and dedication you’ve put into honing what skills you have (or want).
Practice is like any other skill: if you want to get better at something then practice regularly until those skills become second nature. You may think that some things come naturally when they shouldn’t—like walking up stairs without falling on your face—but these kinds of tasks require constant reinforcement through repetition until muscle memory kicks in and does most of the work for us (i.e., getting up those steps).
You don’t need someone else around all day long telling them what notes are next; just do some research online beforehand so as not make mistakes like missing notes during performances.”
Music is an art, and art requires passion.
- Music is an art.
- Art requires passion.
- Music is a form of self-expression.
- Music is a form of communication.
- Music is a form of entertainment (and sometimes even education).
- Music can also be used as therapy, which means that it’s not just for your ears anymore!
Don’t forget to take breaks
The best part about being a musician is that you get to make music. The worst part about being a musician is that you have to make music all the time.
If you want your songs to be good, and if you want people to enjoy them, then it’s important that your creative juices are flowing and your mind is fresh when putting together new material. That said, don’t overwork yourself in an attempt to get everything done as quickly as possible—you’ll only end up exhausted and unsatisfied with what comes out of it all at the end (and even then, odds are pretty good nobody will care). You need breaks from working on anything creative in order for it to actually be good!
Be Inspired
Inspiration is a great thing to have and can come from many sources. You can look to other musicians, artists, or even people in your life for inspiration. Perhaps it’s a friend who has achieved their dream of becoming a successful artist, or maybe it’s your own life experiences that have helped motivate you to pursue your passion.
You can also find inspiration from nature and from the music that moves you! If there are certain songs that make you feel like they were written just for you – those are probably ones worth listening to more often (or even writing yourself).
A Musician should always follow his passion (AI seems to think there is only one gender)
Musicians should always follow their passion. Passion is the key to success, and no one knows this better than musicians. If you follow your passions, you will be successful in whatever you do. It doesn’t matter if it pays well or even if you are good at it—the most important thing is that you love what you do!
Think of all the famous musicians who have achieved incredible success without having any formal training whatsoever: John Lennon couldn’t read music; Steven Tyler was kicked out of his high school band because he couldn’t play guitar; Kurt Cobain taught himself how to play guitar out of frustration at not being able to find a teacher who could teach him what he wanted; Bruce Springsteen dropped out of college after one semester because he was too busy practicing with his band The Castiles; Prince got signed by Warner Brothers despite them knowing nothing about him or his work; Bob Dylan had never played an instrument until he joined The Byrds on stage one day as an acoustic guitar player (he also knew nothing about folk music); Michael Jackson used to sing into an empty toilet bowl so people could hear him over the sound of flushing toilets coming from behind closed doors when they were really loud! All these great artists started out as amateurs with no formal training and became some of history’s greatest talents simply by following their passions and doing what they loved doing every day until they reached their goal!
Conclusion (written by AI as well)
At the end of the day, music is a passion. It’s something that you should do because you love it and want to share that joy with others. These are just a few things I’ve found useful as a musician, but if there’s anything else we’d like to add please let us know!
My conclusion (written by me)
We’re screwed. LOL! Hope everyone has a great new year and regardless if AI takes over, remember the reason for the season and the reason you ever got into music. It’s because it’s the most fun ever!
