ahh that's different.. and it is a good question my friend. I always think DJs and other guys who get into music should go to get music theory training first... I was in a classical music school from the age of 6 (and did 2 years of special kids music classes before that), and there I learnt ranges of notes, what minor and major are, rhythm, etc.. it is hard to improvise and invent those and you can tell when someone did or did not take classes in his life.

I am glad you are asking this question, because it shows that you are realizing this. Most people don't care and are too lazy to go through 2 years of music training at least.

mmhh... Now what should you do? Are you willing to go to two classes per week and learn the notes? It is up to you

I just found this link: http://www.mi.edu I think it is a very cool school in california. But you may find links from there. Good luck!

Also if you have any precise question about music, feel free to post.


one tip maybe: get a keyboard if you dont have one (a cheap controller so you can even control your software synths remotely) and press the notes slowly... listen to them... and press two notes at the same time then.. sometimes it doesnt sound right, sometimes it does... try try try... again and again.. write down the notes that go together for you... Also maybe get a book which lists RANGES of notes (there are several). They are variations of the basic DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI (A B C D E F G I think? I am not american so I know the european way).

talk soon, see you around!
