I’m starting something new on Twitter. It’s called: MusicWeeklies. We make music every week. New themes weekly. Want to have nearly 10 Original Pieces of Music made by the end of the year? Then come join us!

So far we have had 16 MWs. The theme for this week's MW (#17) is #juicy. A new theme is announced every week on Fridays at 12:00 pm PST. You make music based on the theme within the week, you tweet it mentioning @MusicWeeklies, and we retweet it and post it to our website: http://musicweeklies.com/.

If you know anyone that would be interested, tell them to follow @MusicWeeklies on Twitter (https://twitter.com/MusicWeeklies). Be sure to check out our website for theme announcements, past music entries, and other information: http://musicweeklies.com/. Come join us, and spread the word! Let's Make Music Every Week! :D

Can't recommend this enough! I always have trouble motivating myself to make new music, partly because it's hard to know where to start. But just in the past few weeks, I've already made four new tracks that I'm proud of. The weekly themes force you to think creatively (how can I make this sound "juicy"?!), and I have found myself using instruments and styles that I hadn't tried before.

What's really helpful is that it's not a competition, so there's no real pressure. You can just make something for the sake of making something. Plus, it's really fun to see what other composers come up with!

I highly recommend giving it a shot, especially if you're like me and need a motivational boost to get some practice in.
