Melodies are incredibly important to a great song. They create that initial attraction to a song that makes people want to hear it again. You can have the most profound lyrics ever written, but it they’re attached to an uninteresting melody, no one’s going to stick around to find that out.

A great melody should easily stick in the heads of anyone who hears it. There’s nothing worse than spending a ton of time on one of your songs only to have a melody people can't sing along to because it’s not very singable!

So I have to ask… When it comes to your songs: 

If not, you probably just need to know the specific elements that most great melodies have in common. After all, those elements are what’s making them appealing to listeners.

The great part is you can incorporate these elements into your music without compromising yourself as an artist. You might be afraid that if you learn or apply certain techniques to your melodies, your songs will be too cookie cutter, but you don’t have to worry about that. There are plenty of approaches you can use that will make your melodies better, without forcing them into a sound you’re not interested in.

You’ll keep all your creativity, without becoming a “cookie cutter” artist. By taking certain approaches to how you write your melodies, you can greatly increase the chance of getting your listeners to want to hear them again.

For no apparent reason, I used to think I was the greatest songwriter around when I first started writing songs (I definitely wasn’t, as you’ll find out in a second). So one day I decided I’d stroke my ego and submit one of my songs for a professional review to see all the "great things" that would be said about it. Haaa... wow, was I wrong! My song got TORN APART in that review.

I wanted to find out if it was just a fluke, so I submitted a few more songs for review, with the same brutal results. Those reviews were stomping all over my hard work and creativity, so they were tough to swallow!

But looking back on it, those reviews were deservedly bad. My music wasn’t innovative, like I wanted it to be. Instead, my music needed a LOT of work to make an impact on listeners.

One of the things that appeared as a theme in those early reviews was that my melodies were all over the place. In other words, they were practically unsingable. I wanted my melodies to be original, so I had these long, drawn-out melodic segments which I thought made me innovative, when in fact they were just fairly tough to sing (for me AND my listeners).

I was also letting my lyrics dictate my melodies, so my melodies were losing a coherent musical form in order to make certain words fit into my song. That was also a bad idea.

Then I thought about all of my favorite songs by artists I love and how easy they were to sing. I realized one of the things that kept coming up in so many quality hit songs, is a memorable and singable melody. The hit songs I loved weren’t anything like my own crazy, random melodies. I needed to understand what the best songs were doing melodically, if I wanted to write great melodies myself.

Before that, I didn’t realize that if you want to innovate it’s best to know the methods that have worked again and again in other successful songs. THEN you can use them to make your song great, or you can creatively stray from those same ideas to make your melodies innovative. Either way, you win. But you have to know what those concepts are first.

With that realization, I decided to build a solid songwriting education for myself and make it my mission to know what makes melodies listeners want to hear. I read books, and went to seminars and workshops given by the best and most accomplished songwriting teachers around. I learned all the best tips, tricks and techniques there are. Some of what I learned worked and some didn’t. But the stuff that worked, worked incredibly well.

As I started to learn more and more about crafting great melodies, I developed the ability to see what made successful songs work so well, while other songs didn’t. It became almost instantaneous when I listened to a new song.

I ended up analyzing a ton of hit songs for articles on my own website and for other great songwriting websites, like USA Songwriting Competition’s Blog and CD Baby’s Do It Yourself Musician’s Blog. I’ve even had my writings appear as examples in the book Songwriting Without Boundaries, by Pat Pattison, who’s an acclaimed Lyric Writing Professor at Berklee College of Music.

Once I noticed I could see songs in this way, I realized I’d have to put these ideas into a course to be able to give other songwriters the ability to clearly see what can make their songs work, while sparing them information that doesn’t work. Not to mention saving them time too.

And that’s what I’ve done. There are very specific concepts you can apply to your melodies to make them singable, interesting AND innovative. I’ve compiled the best of these ideas into an online video course called How to Write Songs That Sell: The Melodies Module.

How to Write Songs That Sell: The Melodies Module is going to save you a LOT of trial and error when it comes to writing incredibly effective melodies your fans won't be able to stop singing.

This course will teach you two methods for writing melodies. The first method is called the Find Inspiration Method, where you’ll learn how to specifically draw inspiration and get ideas from other songs, and turn them into songs that are completely your own. You’ll be able to dismember a current melody, examine the parts, change them and then put them back together to create a whole new song of your own. You’ll never understand an existing melody (or your own) so well as when you take this approach.

The second method you’ll learn is the Do It Yourself Method, where you won’t be relying on other songs at all. It’ll show you how to create melodies people want to hear completely from your own brain.

If you decide to combine parts of these two methods together, you’ll see great results. Great artists are always looking to other artists for ideas, while at the same time innovating from their own minds. If you combine the two methods, you have a great opportunity to do that yourself.

How to Write Songs That Sell: The Melodies Module is a comprehensive program that walks you through all the pieces you need for creating a melody people want to hear, so you could drastically improve your melodies in just days.

Every time I've taken an online course, I’ve found the best way to learn is to start by watching videos so I can have the concepts shown to me and easily explained.

Then if I need to revisit one of the ideas or concepts, I’ve always found it helpful to have a transcript, since it makes those concepts really easy to find when I need to reference a specific one.

I also like the idea of having the audio of what’s in the videos, since audio lets you absorb the contents of the course anytime and anywhere you want. Plus, the audio format makes it easy to listen to the contents of the course several times, getting it ingrained in your brain so you hardly even have to think about what to do.

Since great artists frequently reference other artists they’re inspired by and they also innovate from their own minds, the Melodies Module is broken up into 2 different methods, as I mentioned earlier:

To give you an idea of the depth of this program, let's take a look at what you'll find inside.

The Melodies Module will show you how to write creative but catchy melodies for your songs. You don't have to be a naturally gifted melody writer in order to come up with great, memorable melodies, so we'll cover:

After going through How to Write Songs That Sell: The Melodies Module, you'll always have a way for coming up with a melody and you’ll never be stuck with something that’s uninteresting to your listeners. And you don't even have to know how to read music to make it happen.

The Chord and Melody Writing Cheat Sheet

And it has a guitar capo chart so you can easily change the key of a song using a capo and still know what chords you're playing.

If it sounds like all these charts are overwhelming, don't worry -- I show you exactly how to use them in the Melodies Module. Once you start writing with these charts, you'll never know how you wrote without them.

There's a lot more that you get with this program. To give you even more resources, I've gone ahead and put together some great bonus lessons for you.
