Learn these two things to become a successful music composer!

Updated: Jul 21

For any music producer or music composer, learning these two instruments will help in the later stages of their career. To become a composer, you should be well-versed in music production in this era. To become good at music production, you should have strong musical keyboard or piano skills and rhythm skills. Those two instruments are keyboard and drums!


Why you should learn Keys & Drums?

While the music keyboard or piano provides the fundamental knowledge about various scales, chords, and music theory, the drums provide knowledge about different time signatures, syncopation, and rhythm sense.


That is why it is very important to learn both if you want to become a successful music composer or producer in your career.
