This week's theme is:

Celtic Crossroads

With St. Patrick's Day around the corner, what a way to show respect than to create some awesome Celtic Music.

Celtic Music is characterized by melodic variation. It is usual for the melodic line to move up and down the primary chords.

A lot of different instruments are used in the creation of Celtic Music like:

Rappers, musicians, and vocalists can incorporate the Celtic influence and/or instruments to create their entries.

Producers can create that Celtic style beat that incorporates the essence of this type of music.

However this Celtic Crossroads theme resonates with you let's hear what creativity and inspiration you use to make this music that will make you feel good.
