Go to the library, there are books there about music. Also, find a way to hang out with local musicians/meet local musicians. It doesn’t hurt to also try transcribing music that you like, if you would like to work in that specific genre.

PS…transcribing is listening to the music, and writing it down.

Record yourself when you practice and listen back when you are done. This is a great way to find flaws and begin polishing them. Another good thing is to learn your modes, scales, timing, and chords. The more knowledge of music you have, the easier it will be to create.
