This video is an edited version of the livestream that I hosted on August 2nd, 2024. In this melody tutorial, I'll share the simplest, most effective strategy for quickly writing interesting melodies. We'll cover the two elements necessary to make a melody memorable, and I'll take you along as I compose several examples live.
Near the end of the stream, you can watch as I get challenged by the chat to test if my melody writing tips really work. This video is perfect for beginner and intermediate composers looking to improve their composition skills and learn more about melody creation and music theory.
