In these sessions, we’re rotating a number of core topics on songwriting. This is our first on writing melody. We’ll look at:
- the musical properties and potential of different scales, intervals and melodic shapes
- structural and non-structural notes in a melody
- managing rhythm and phrase lengths
- tips on vocal range, hooks, riffs, and use of silence in melody writing
As always, it’s an opportunity for:
- learning some (non-scary) theory & technique
- doing songwriting exercises
- learning from analyzing successful songs
- getting reading lists & detailed handouts
- meeting other songwriters & potential writing partners
Cost: £12
