Utter frustration
@@cadabrablanke2497 ikrrr 😭😭😭
Me too..😌 what app is used? Thanks..
I RELATE SO MUCH
I write lyrics and sing but have never learnt how to play any instrument so i felt kinda incomplete and didn't know how to make a full song when I cannot make music. Now I try to learn how to do music without the instruments. Thanks for the video.
I completely understand how you feel and you're not alone! I hope this video helped you! 🙏🏼
Well I’d like to learn keyboard as I’d like to make electronic pop, but I’d like to learn by learning the theory and coming up with my own pieces in a raw form
That's awesome! It'll be so helpful. As someone who makes electronic pop music as well -I'm rooting for you! :)
I love your advice. Thanks a lot i write a song without instruments..
Thank you! I know the struggle so you have my full empathy! :)
@@JonathanMillerMusic but what if ur a complete beginner like me, i've been singing for 3 years behind my parents back so i can't actually sing loudly and let it all out but when my parents are out i start singing and letting it all out, idk if im good at singing i hear myself decent and my brother tells me im not so bad but i wanna try making a song and show my parents that they should have been supportive since they never aloud me to sing, but my problem is every time i get in these apps i don't know what to do and its so complicated and that's just the singing part and now what about the music part i really want a private lesson
Same idk what to do
@@ytninja7532 I know right. I also sing behind me back and felt it so hard to create music.
Thank you. This is what I needed to know, to get started.
Thank you so much for this!! ♡

Life is a pain without music
- mirror shadow
Thank you you answered a lot of questions I had...I just need to double check..
Let's say I've written many songs in my life and have the melodies also .I written blues , tear in your beer country, hard and soft rock and rap songs along with of coarse little ditties.
Fear kept me from putting them out there. The one time I did was the greatest experience in my life . Though it was in a holding tank in l.b.ca.waiting to go to court it all fell together perfectly.
Going back and forth everyday on the county bus only to be told it's a dry run was getting to me just sitting from dark thirty in the morning till dark.
One morning I awoke remembering a song I had written some years back in prison and it wouldn't leave my thoughts.
So I get called again for court.the 10x10 square holding benches were packed.
It was a diverse group of women.All colors different backgrounds and charges.
I've always been the quiet one don't make waves. This morning I stood up looked around and knew there was one thing these women had in common and that it was something that would touch them enough to participate .
I stood and started talking..right off the top someone yells shut the fuck up! Someone shut this crazy white girls mouth.why they put the nuts in with us.
I just continued on..
OK I'm going to sing this as best that I can though i can't sing and then I want everyone to stand up as the chorus and repeat it
And so I belt out
What Of The Child !
And they all stood up and did it
I dropped down to the ground , rolling, cracking up, laughing so hard I had tears.looking up someone asked did we do it wrong? No ! It was perfect.!
There were some of the women going to trial so they were there everyday while I did my dry runs There were generations mothers grandmothers daughters and mothers..i found a couple singers and in that little cell crowded with women over the next few days of changes and practices we put together my song...it would have been such a great music video.
Then came the day my charges were dropped and I was walking out...
It was the end of me being brave enough to put myself out there...
I've kept the words and music hidden away in my heart for 20 years
This is just one of many that I need to release.
I. Observe the joys and pains of life and lives , the challenges of winning and losing hard times and great time love and heart break s and I think I've written some pretty good songs. This coming from me ,my worse critic.
I'm 62 now and don't want to be afraid anymore . I want what I found that time incarcerated ...when I took the opportunity to give myself the gift of me
I am worthy as is my music
That's about it
Keep a good thought
Joyce Butler
Then my charges were dropped
Wow
That's really inspiring
This is so much helpful. Thanks a lot! New subscriber here
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful!! 💗👍🏼
Thank you so much for making this video! Me and my best friend want to be musicians and this helped a lot! You got a new subscriber
aww thank you! I'm happy you're here!
As someone who can play an instrument but doesn't own one this is really helpful. Tysm for this!
I like your video. I started producing music by practicing using music loops. From there I began to play atmospheric Vsts. Through out the years I collected over 47 vsts, and thousands of sounds from purchasing sounds. Some of the sounds I got for free too. I use a few DAWS, but my favorites are Sony Music Studio, Magix Music Maker 2014. I use Magix Music Maker to produce theatrical music. It's good to experiment.
You I Do Producing Music
Thanks sir.
You're welcome! :)
Thanks
❤❤❤
Of course! :D
Your THE BEST
❤❤💖👊
@@kreaktyga956 Thank you, that's a really nice compliment! 😭
i am so thankful that i found this video ,i really want to make music but dont know what to do but cuz of you thankyouuu!!
Yay! I’m glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for subbing! Love to the Philippines! 🇵🇭💖
This videos really sparked something in my brain. Somehow tik tok lead me here 😂 thank you for the info 🤔 also, to answer your question, i have always been called to the accordion 🌿 it's always been a dream ✨
I have garage band but don't know if I'm allowed to use the premade loops in my own songs 😅
Thanks for the video, so helpful. Been wondering what DAW stands for 😂
I am just 15 people around me tell I am good at singing so I started writing a few songs. It just always felt wrong . I felt maybe I should just not think about becoming a singer just because I was not capable of playing even a single instrument and how to compose a song. Thanks for your guidance the way you explain is so simple and easy to understand.
If I could play an instrument, it would be an acousting guitar. I have tried several times and failed over the years because I've never set enough time aside to put in the effort of learning it. The reason I'd like to be able to play it, is because I am just in love with the simplicity yet complexity of the instrument and how it sounds. It's just something about an acoustic guitar that draws my attention.
The moment he said impossible no. I knew this guy is awesome ❤❤
haha Thank you!!
One day I'll think of singing a song! Like my own, but I have no instruments .
So this video is helpful!
idk why but the tambourine seems so fun
my kindergarten teachers played it to calm kids down and i just wanna play it
is there a program that I can hum into and then change my voice into an instrument? cuz i need thaaaat
@Aalia Parasar tell pls

@@user-lm7hy6ir4b thank you (:
Thank you for the information brother 😊 I have writed songs but I don't know how to compose music 🎶 can you give a deep information about music in another video.
i needed this. I was learning how to play a guitar for the sake of creating a graduation song then the strings broke and we dint have the time to fix it. tyy
Oh no!! That’s so frustrating! 😭 I hope this video helped then!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I can play guitar but idk if a song with only guitar would really work, so thank you 😭
Interesting, I have no idea how to play an instrument and somehow my beats have gotten better lol but I do plan on learning so I can come up with melodies more easily.
I love how this Joy Division beat going over it.
As someone who doesn’t know where to start, thank you 🙏🏼
I’m trying to learn guitar, and I wanna learn piano. But I really wanna write songs and I don’t know very many notes on the guitar. So I’ve been trying to figure out how to make music without an instrument 😃
My favourite song is fashion week by blackbear
I'm currently trying to write my first song, it's a love song, and I'd kill if I could be able to play the violin for it, but I can't.
I wanted to play a guitar 🥺
It's a fun instrument to learn -a lot of work though!
Wow you are awesome to reply on every comment 🤧 - Maybe I will just consider saving up to buy one guitar and the other things needed.
Thank you for replying💖
What music software do you use or recommend?
I love Logic Pro X but GarageBand is a great free program if you’re just starting out! :)
Either keyboards or guitar
Hlo Sir
Love u
Can you Make a Video on How to Make a Cover Song in 10 or 5 steps plzzz
I am also writing songs and in future i wannabe a great singer and wanna make a band
What app should i use?
No bc I have a melody in my head but idk how to,layer an instrument over 😭
Does it work on phone?
You did not really show how, how do you work with Midi notes and make sure you are in the right key and not adding weird notes???
When I get a melody. Does that then become the lyrics or the beat of the song if that makes sense. Like do i sing the lyrics to the melody or does the somg I create follow the melody and theories have a different sound altogether ?! Xx
I can play percussion but no melody instruments
Hi Jonathan- I came across this video as I’m trying to figure out a way to go about expressing these thoughts in my head. You are definitely the one to go to for this but idk, I just find the midi/computer setup to be a bit tedious. I really would like to use hardware but does this limit me?
Midi and computer configurations can be tedious, you're definitely right about that, HOWEVER. They can also be super simple too! I don't use a lot of gear to make my music. There's always going to be a learning curve but honestly you gotta do what feels right. Maybe you have to start by writing lyrics or something before you jump into DAW stuff! Do what feels right for you! :))
I have a little bit of a problem with making the melodies now- my kind keeps taking melodies from other songs as I'm.trying to write and so all together it just songs like those songs with different lyrics- does anyone have any suggestions for that??
When I was a kid everyone around me started rapping. I wanted to make music too. But they wouldn't let me. When I asked why I couldn't join them they said "because you're g*y David. We don't make ga* music David." ..... So I taught myself. I'm still learning. And still making music. Meanwhile they're enjoying parenthood, prison, or even death for a couple of them. My former friends. I got love em for em still, but I don't associate with em anymore.
What programs are those at 4:30?
We want videos on bmmda and promo only for getting in radio and i can play indian instruments like Tabla And Harmonium.
I’m not familiar with “Bmmda” and that’s wonderful that you can play those instruments!
I have been singing for 13 years and i don't know how to play anything haha. I have played recorder and saxophone but that isn't enough! I appreciate this so much also what would you suggest is the best free music making program?
hahaha I know what you mean. I always suggest Garageband because it's really in-depth for a free program and you can do SO MUCH with it!
What do you call that instrument on. Thumbnail?
All I can play is the clarinet and alto saxophone
I would like to play the piano cause it’s such a beautiful instrument
Absolutely! I have enough knowledge to kind of get around on the piano but I envy those who can play it so flawlessly :)
Jonathan Miller Music Ikr Lol
Like that gal Lady Gaga but I can’t get mad at her
Hahaha she’s definitely talented!
Jonathan Miller Music AGREED my all time role model!!!
Become a fucking DJ
Hello, I really love EDM I've always wanted to create some, but I don't have any musical knowledge in terms of playing instruments. I understand the steps of making music but I can't play instruments. I have a friend that plays instruments, do you think he can help me make my sound to life? I'm asking this because most of EDM blown artists always perform on stage as a dj or making live instruments, what if got blown, how will I perform on stage especially if I wasn't the one that make the instrumental or vocal.
You definitely don't have to be a DJ if you want to make EDM! :) That's a common misconception. A lot of EDM DJ's though don't have a lot of training in music theory so you're definitely not a lone. You can definitely ask your friends to help you though! You never know until you ask :)
Do you know any on phone? Like Samsung?
Apps
I wanna make songs like Porter Robinson, his songs are amazing, this may help me get there
Wanna colab
I want to learn how to make music, huhuhu. I want a country music. But, I do not know anything about music or instruments
I have 30+ songs in my notes, but no sounds.
I GOT U UR 900 LIKE
You a real one! 😭👍🏼🙏🏻
I hqve a violin but i dont want to use them for my songs cause violins aren't made for my song
thanks i can make three songs!
Hai !!! U wrote 3songs without anyuse of instruments?? Plz tell me
Oo

Uk/Aria Next Week ?
I ended up splitting them into two videos! UK charts is next week, ARIA will be the week after! 👍🏼
Yes yes everything you say yes.....I'm musically inclined and lyrical but I'm a jack of all trades when it comes to instruments.... talented at many master of none....but not great or even go at any.....I just want to put them together....
What is the name of the device you are holding in the thumbnail??
It's called the AKAI Mini Professional Keyboard! 😁 You can check it out here: amzn.to/2YteNYO
Thanks man 👍
@@farjadahmad No problem! :)
Id probably go with accordion or piano. Ive heard horror stories about strummers callouses.
sorry but you look almost exactly like travis from sally face
someone had to say it 🧍♂️
also great video it honestly helped a lot ✨😭
also thats not a bad thing you honestly dont look bad at all 😭✨👑
I play instruments and honestly think one of the best ways to write is going without. Using Logic/loops etc. Like you said, you can learn as you go when doing it! Such great advice! :)
I just want to make music for myself not to post it so thats so helpful thank youu🥰
That’s awesome! I’m happy this was helpful! Best of luck! :)
I am someone who actually draws a lot and is practicing animation, but I want to learn how to compose music (nothing too hard, since I only have a few ideas), there is this one sing I want ti deducate to my dad (don't take it as a good thing. The reasons are not good) but I wanna do it properly which is why I am here. Anyone else who is already an artust in another field and is here cuz "I need more than one skill >:)"?
not exactly, but I've been singing and writing songs for pretty much my entire life and I'm trying to figure out how to accompany them 😅 so kinda
After watch a TH-cam video how much percentage of people subscribe your channel plz tell me because Damian Keyes said that after watching his videos 40 percent people subscribed.Plz Reply With A Good Answer
Wow that's great for him! I can't say for certain what the exact percentage is of people who become a subscriber after watching my videos but I will say that a majority of my views come from people who have not subbed to my channel, that's why I stylize my videos the way I do. However, I've been growing quite a bit as of recently so that's currently in the process of changing. :)
Does neilson collects data from TH-cam Lyric Video
Of course! Just make sure you’ve put your song’s ISRC in the description of your video :)
@@JonathanMillerMusic in the lyric video description or on the neilson website

You sound like Oli London 😂 (sorry for this)
💀 as long as you don't think I BEHAVE like him. hahaha

Anybody interested to collab with me? I can sing and write lyrics...I cant produce music though.
