I'd love to see a breakdown of the music that supported this melody. It sounded really great! Thanks.

The final result sounded excellent. I couldn't help notice that you didn't use any rests. I like add "silence" to create an impact. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks!

Clearly explained , and the final result was cinematic !!! :)

Thank you for this video. The only thing that might be confusing is the difference between, Motif, Phrase and Melody. For me the Motif was the first 3 notes you had, which you then varied. This made up a Phrase, which following a similar principle with the motif is varied in subsequent Phrases. These Phrases combined make up the melody line. Let me know if I have this wrong, as I have seen Motif, Phrase and Melody used almost interchangeably.

Simple and effective tips

Congratulations on an amazing final result!

Your channel is absolutely amazing, this is exactly the kind of helpful, useful stuff I need as a beginner. Your presentation style is really engaging, and the content has given me many moments where the lightbulb goes on and I get it - that's exciting and gets me motivated to go try out what I've learned. Can't wait to g through the rest of your videos, and I'm looking forward to more. Thanks so much - subscribed!

Your channel was recommended to me today and I've found it very useful so far so thank you. For this video the only thing that surprised me a bit which I thought might have been useful to talk about is your choice of cadence. Your 16 bar melody ends on a tension note which suggests the melody wants to continue on somewhere, I would perhaps have said a quick word on that or changed it to a resolution to the root just for the sake on completeness. Other than that, very straightforward and easy to follow

Thank you very much for the clear explanation with this beautiful example. They helped me a lot in the development of my melodies. 👍👍

Brilliant! Thanks so much. Really helpful as this is something I’ve struggled with. 👏

Absolute legend! This made my day. All ready subscribed earlier. Quality content. Thanks 😊

Bonjour . Je cherche depuis longtemps un tutoriel tel que celui là .( j'en ai abandonné beaucoup ) Celui ci ( l'ensemble des différentes vidéos ) me convient parfaitement , pertinemment et clairement fait sur le contenu et sur la forme . MERCI !!! ( et bravo )

Thanks for the video and for showing the MIDI view in addition to the notation view. Is the next video, how you orchestrated the piano sketch?

Love it, thanks very much.

Thank you for the help

Thank you so much for your video 😊

Thank you sooooooooooooo much!!

Hi Simon. Excellent video! Any chance off a tutorial for writing/orchestrating for four horns please?

nice..luv it hope i can learn lots from u thank u so much

Thanks Simon

Simply brilliant ! 👌

Bravo !!!

Once again great video and thank you!

Hi Simon Very clear explanation as always. Just wonder if writing any melody without considering key and underlying harmony plus cadences is good practice. I struggle to find these in your piece. Maybe Aminor key but why F#? Patrick

Great lesson, thank you!

What a mind-blowing ❤️...

Sir you r gr8 pls teach me how to do a orchestra step by step . N how to develope it n how to add harmonies to it .. pls sir ....how to. Compose the cello n viola etc etc ...pls sir from fundamental level.

Amazing video. beautifully explained. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the good video.Can you tell me in which vst is the string sound coming from here.The string sound is very warm and nice.And teacher's melody is so pretty!!

Helpful....thank you.

Nice explanation and that piece sounds great!

Going on

Can i get some of these tutorials as projects? or midis?

Great lessons thanks.could you pls explain about song writing systems?about 4 bar to 8 bar rules.thanks

Love it!

Very good! Thanks!

what gets me is that it seems like its usually the harmony, or the chord progression that really makes the melody.... I have tried taking popular melodies and putting new or different chord progressions under them, just to hear how it works or more likely, doesn't work....dont quite have the skill to do this however...

Great Video as always. I'm kinda new to composing. Would it be possible to make a video about song structures and the music theory behind it? Can I use 4 chords in the whole song like in pop songs? How do I keep it interesting?

Excellent

I came here from the total beginner how to write music video and I see in your melody that in this video you very often use notes that can not be combined in some sort of simple chord. So whatever your harmony chord is, a few notes are not on the chord. At the moment I feel like entering very unsave territory when leaving the chord notes when it comes to melody. Is there any advice or thing to know when jumping off the recent chord for one or two nodes might be usefull?

wow i can belive

What program are you using-sybellius??

GOLD

Wow!!!~~

Is it possible to get the midi or sheet music from these videos somewhere? :)

do you teach, how to write disco strings?

Good video. But hard disagree on you opinion of large musical steps, yes use them wisely, but pieces like: æa room with an ocean view" and "Fallen down" absolutely THRIVE on those long intervals.

brilliant

The melody was absolutely obnoxious until that final version, where it was suddenly amazing. I guess thats why you have to trust the process sometimes

I learned strings are a cheat code lol

Hi Simon, great tutorial! May i use this melody or is copywrited?

Your melody has canonic/imitative possibilities, which would make for a good next video...

...sounds good, but isn't one of the first rules of writing a good melody, is that it should have one single climatic note? If the climatic note is repeated, it's not the climatic note.

Melody build ok but not ending i think it needs resolution??? Just my opinion!

hi

I made a mistake of changing the melody too much and it sounded like a completely different piece of music.

💎💎💎👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏽

No my problem is not that i cannot write good melody, my problem is that i don't know the exact time measure and rythm whish i were in those people's shoes who can write down the correct rythm but cannot write good melodies🤣
