How do I find helpful tutorials? 

There’s no one “right” way to get started making beats. One way you might get started is by finding and using tutorials.

Think About

• How can I get started making beats?
• How can using tutorials give my ideas for making a beat?
• How can I find helpful tutorials on my own?

Get Started

Find your own tutorials online by using search terms such as:

“Beat tutorial” “beat deconstructed” “how to make the [fill in the blank] beat”

Note: Not all tutorials are high quality so if you find your own. keep track of the youtube channels or sites that you like best so you can return to them.

To help you keep track of helpful and high-quality tutorials: 

• Keep track of the youtube channels or sites that you like best so you can return to them.
• Figure out what criteria you can use to determine if a tutorial is helpful and high-quality
• Use your criteria to determine whether a tutorial is worth your time
