[Diana de Cabarrus]

Writing melodies:

– Don’t discard ideas that you think are average or a bit unexciting. Try them with different bass notes and chords progressions, imagine how they might sound on different instruments. Vary them more along the lines already discussed in previous post.

– Create at least two more variations based on the same melody. You can either further develop your first variation and make something new out of that, or you can return to the original melody and create a different variation using a different approach.

– Start a list of awesome melodies that you love. They can be from film, pop/rock, classical music. Ideally they will not be very long.
