Songwriting tips. Melody or music first? An experiment in Songwriting tips

The songwriting tips in this video are eye openers for songwriters in every genre. Master this technique and you will be unstoppable even by producer standards.

A given chord progression can only yield certain notes as singable. The typical method by most songwriters is to write the music first thereby reducing the possible melody choices. How about going at it from the melody first approach? This experiment shows a mathematical comparison which blows the typical approach out of the water giving you the maximum amount of choices.

This unique approach is also organic to the individual using it. For example: If you like the major third note sung over the root in Dorian, you would obviously choose this interval regardless of whether or not the progression was written first. Either way you get triple the options.

Bryan has taught music industry courses for the College’s Arts Management Program for five years; he is helping to develop a music industry concentration by generating interest of starting musicians and those wanting to pursue careers in music management. Bryan, along with industry expert and owner of Borboleta Audio Mastering, Duda Lucena, also has seen interest from musicians in the community to further enhance their knowledge of the music business.

Lucena remarks, “I believe this series is very important because it provides musicians with resources that push their music to the highest level.”
