Hey!

Posted by Sol - May 11th, 2013


People keep asking me how to make melodies like I do...

Well, usually the easiest way is to follow a bass line...

When following a bass line, you are wanting to use the right notes, but a bass line gives you some kind of pattern that makes your mind work with it.

When you feel a emotional bass line, start pressing keys on the piano, and attempt to make a beat...Once you've done that, make a pattern (make the pitch go up or down with the bass line)

This is one of the easiest ways...

Another way is to make a chord pattern, make the chord pattern play 4 whole notes, and then just feel emotion between them... Usually your mind searches for keys that would sound good...Really, your mind is doing all of the work. JUST MAKE SURE YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART! CHORDS ARE KNOWN TO SET UP THE EMOTIONS IN THE MELODIES!!! WITHOUT CHORDS, MELODIES WOULD HAVE TO BE MELODIC TO EITHER GET A EARS ATTENTION!

Chords are also setting styles into the melody, so if a melody is sad, chords could make the melody more soothing, more peaceful so that ear will understand. Your ear kind of reads the melody and chords(they're very important!)

Another way is making a chord pattern, and just using notes in the chords to make a melody...THIS IS ALSO A VERY, VERY, VERY EASY WAY!
