Let's make a Music Jam!

Just for fun!

If any of you like to draw or paint, you may have heard about "Art-Jams", an activity in which a community of artists make a drawing or painting related to a chosen topic. Also, artists do daily fast sketches to practice, to keep their skills in form.

So I thought, why don't we merge this two activities and bring them to the field of music?

The idea is, every month there will be a topic, and whoever in the community wants to participate, should make a composition inspired on that month's topic. So, to participate in this activity, all you have to do is to compose a song that expresses all that the topic inspires you.

The rules are simple:

1. Everybody can participate, beginners or professionals.

2. You can use any instrument, and you can use several instruments.

3. It can be as simple as one page or less, or a thousand pages if you have enough spare time. Whatever number of pages you need is fine.

4. You can submit from one to infinite songs for the same topic, if you have a lot of ideas.

5. You can work on it alone, or find other MuseScore friends and participate as a team.

6. To have them all in one place, I created a group, Music Jam .

7. In this group, there will be a discussion forum post for each month's topic , so that everything is organized. You have to comment in the relevant post with a link to your composition.

8. HAVE FUN!

So let's start with a very simple topic for April:

SPRING/AUTUMN
Deadline: April the 30th, 2014
Those MuseScore users who live in the northern hemisphere are starting spring now, while users living in the southern hemisphere are at the beginning of autumn. So this will be the topic until the end of April.
Check April's topic forum post !

I hope we have fun with this and meet a lot of other MuseScore community members!

- If you are a professional composer, this can be something to explore, to improve your skills and to have fun with the community.

- If you are a beginner, this can be a good practice and you can also learn from it. (There is a MuseScore user who is now making composition tutorials , you can put what you learn there into practice here).

So what do you think? Let's have fun!
