Write an article based on this "Figure out what genre you like. Search for music with certain instruments. Decide what artists you like. Choose subject matter to search for. Differentiate between songs and sheet music."
A genre is a specific category of music, such as bluegrass, rock 'n' roll, rap, etc.  Often times people have wide musical tastes, and find it hard to pinpoint exactly what genre they love the most.  However, there are some easy ways to at least narrow the list down to a few select genres.  The easiest thing to do is to scroll through your iTunes library, or other music download library, and look where it says "genre" next to each song.  Count how many times each appears to see what genre is most prevalent in your music library.  Nowadays, genre has grown to include dates in which music came out.  For example, 70's rock 'n' roll, or 50's pop.  Your music library should also contain the date in which a song is released.  See whether the majority of your songs are contained within a specific decade, year, or era. Write down 2-3 genres you wish to search for.  Specific internet sites and/or radios organize random lists of music organized into all types of categories, including genre. Listen to some of your favorite songs.  Pay special attention to the instruments used.  A song might have a strong bass line (bass guitar), a guitar solo (electric/acoustic guitar), or maybe even a trumpet playing in the background.  Whatever it may be, write down some of the instruments you particularly like.  You might even want to go through your entire music download library to see what instruments occur the most.  After you have your list complete, you can then type in specific instrument names such as "trombone," "piano," etc. into a music site search engine.  This will pull up all the possible songs which use that instrument(s) in the song. You can even focus your search results more by grouping instruments you like together.  For example, you can type in "piano, bass guitar, tuba" into the search engine.  This will bring up songs with those three instruments only. You can scroll through your music library and see how many times an artist appears.  Write down two or three names and search for them online.  If you have all of that artist's major hits, you add words like "rare" or "unreleased" to your search engine of choice to find songs by them you might not have previously heard. The great thing about focusing your search on a particular artist is that it opens you up to the possibility of finding other artists like them.  Take for example that you are obsessed with the group Led Zeppelin.  Type into your search engine "artists like Led Zeppelin" to find similar types of music. These are often topics such as love, commitment, relationships, having fun, depression, sadness, loneliness, happiness, etc.  You might wish to listen to love songs like you always do, or you might be having a down day, and wish to listen to a sad song.  It is important to pay attention to the tone of certain songs as well.  Searching for a song which "sounds happy" is different from a song which is lyrically happy. You might be looking for music to listen too.  For that, you need to focus your searches on music sharing sites, such as Youtube, Spotify, Pandora, etc.  If you are instead, looking for sheet music to play, you will need to search other websites and sources.  For sheet music, try http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/advanced-search or http://en.scorser.com/D/Sheet+music.html. You can search through sheet music based on lyrics, instruments used, and even notes.
