I've always thought hard about writing my own music and I'm of course still a beginner and I really want to learn how to make my own music.

Does anyone have any tips on how to write your own music?
thanks

Study the lessons concerning Keys and the order of the 7 chords in each key.

This is a great way to start writing chord progressions if you're just starting out. Because if you follow the the guidelines mentioned here (up a 4th, down a 3rd, up a 2nd) you are guaranteed to create a great sounding progression, always!

Let me just say that writing music is much more than understanding the language. It's being an appreciator of music; a student of music style. I'm not saying you have to like everything, but a person should appreciate the writing of different styles.

Write your own music based upon that which has already been written. So much of it out there is similar. I'm not suggesting beinga copycat. I'm suggesting that if you learn to break down song basics you'll be able to apply the mechanics to your own style.

Spend time listening and understanding. Spend time listening, listening, listening.

Here's some help if you want to sing the blues.

I woke up this morning
Put on my Brooks Brothers Suit,
I went to the office
To gather some loot,
My Beamer would start
So I took my wife's Vet,
It's been twenty minutes
And I am not there yet.
I got those Commuter Blues.
