Description:
Learn a simple framework to take your lyrics and turn them into a catchy melody that is sure to get stuck in the listener's head.What To ExpectThis course will teach you everything you need to know about how to take those lyrics that have been sitting on the shelf and finally turn them into a hummable and memorable melody regardless of your skill level or knowledge of music theory. No matter if you're a complete beginner just starting out or a seasoned pro looking for a new perspective on writing songs, I'll show you a simple framework to go from writer's block, to inspired idea so you can quickly write the music that is most meaningful to you and ultimately, your audience.Throughout this course, I demonstrate my process of how I create music to pre-existing lyrics in a step by step fashion based on specifications I would typically receive from a privat client. Specifically, I'll be working on putting together a catchy chorus melody for an alternative rock song inspired by bands like my chemical romance using lyrics written by my friend Melanie. I'll be demonstrating how I determine not only what notes to use, but also the mood, tonality, phrasing, rhythm and tempo of how the rest of the music will sound.If that sounds like your bag, I humbly invite you to join me.

Lyricist who want to learn to put music to their words but don't know where to begin.
