Many believe that to be a creative, you need to be one of the lucky few. One who is gifted with natural abilities. One whose art flows like water from a fountain.
Well...that's just not true.
To be a creative, you just need to create. Heck, "create" is in the word "creative," right?
Want to be a writer? Write something. Even just a few sentences. Bam! Now you're a writer.
Want to be a painter? Paint something. There. Now you're an artist. What's more, your art is unique as can be. Because there is only one you.
One to be a musician? Find an instrument and play something. You're now creating music.
Those who believe that creativity is only for the anointed few are focused on the outcomes. The competition winners. The artists who are featured in museums.

So, go and create something today. Become the artist you always wanted to be.
Then, come back and let us know how it feels to be a creative.
Never miss a blog post!
For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.
