    Melody is very central to the piece, theres a lot of repetition but for me the main vocal melody doesn't get boring! The lead melody that doesnt change kinda goes into the background once you get used to it to allow other melodies like the vocal to come through.

Requirements

  • Have beginner skills in ableton and have an ableton push with ableton Standard/suite

This is broken down into scale degrees, generic and specific intervals and importantly the musical effect that these scales and intervals have - ie how you can use the natural tension and release in scales to form melodies.

Finally we introduce compositional techniques to extend and assist in melody writing.
