Description

Your Journey in Melody

Do you want to become a master of writing and creating memorable melodies in music composition? Do you want to be able to compose anything from beautiful lyrical melodies, to energy-lifting, inspiring and adventurous themes, to powerful and mighty motifs. Hello Composers, Mike here. And I will take you on a learning journey and adventure, where you will learn the secrets to create amazing and memorable melodies for your music.

You will also get lots of live examples, breakdowns and demonstrations, as well as several opportunities to practice what you learn, so that you will truly master the knowledge you gain.

Melodies...Most people will say that it is the most important element of music. And it is indeed the main spotlight that guides the listeners attention, and leads the action of your music story.

Now, here is your most important lesson:

Melodies are the focus of music. Without leading melodies your music will take the backseat, and be pushed into the background. Which can for example be great for writing music to a specific scene of a movie where the music must be there only to complement the emotional vibe of the picture, while not drawing attention to itself. Now, for the vast majority of music, especially the kind of music you listen to on its own...you really need a leading melody to grab the listeners attention, and make him want to complete your story. The melodies have the potential of carrying so much emotional power. The expressiveness and human character of a good melody, it is truly the reason why melodies are the element of music that people remember the most.
