While these hooks you; there are other things that can make your track sound ameteur. Let me explain in this video:

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

On a scientific level I believe "catchy" comes from how you utilize the Perfect 5th. You should be able to sing your melody too. Why the perfect 5th? It's the second most stable next to the root being the most stable of the scale. The 5th note of the scale but the 7th semi tone.

[@justin1129]

I can tell you're obsessed with music. Can feel the passion through the screen. Inspiring

[@petemusgrove7422]

One thing that's always fascinated me is how often the song I like least on an album ends up becoming my favourite and I think it's important not to throw out "bad ideas" without giving them a decent chance.

[@happniin5287]

We all know Darude - Sandstorm was in the box..

[@imonlydancingsal1509]

Alice, love your channel. But for someone who is so good with sound, when you speak, it's not easy to decipher or understand the way you speak. If you could make this as clear as your mixes, I would watch twice as much of your content ! Great stuff !

[@chinmeysway]

Like the distinction between good / catchy. I like the overlap and analysis but I like also to think that caring to achieve catchiness is overrated and formulaic and limiting. Catchy combined w surprise I suppose is a decent compromise.

[@BellXllebMusic]

That "off melody" was not weird but much better than a boring overused one from the get go

[@carltonlambert7608]

The space where nothing happens as well as where something happens.

[@Alice-Efe]

What other tactics do you use to make good and cathy melodies? 😊

Alice your teaching capability is outstanding!!!

[@peterelfman]

Excellent video! I've heard the bit about a good melody being easy to hum before. The part about being able to whistle is both genius and true. Well done!

[@GarethThomasTunes]

Nice analysis thanks Alice - I love your enthusiasm!

[@Nedirbuciddiyet]

You are great Alice!! Thank you so much for the video!
