In this video I’m breaking down The Simple Melody Formula That Works Every Time.

It’s easy to overthink melodies—but once you understand how rhythm, note choice, and shape work together, it becomes way more natural.

Here’s the process I walk you through:
1. Start with rhythm – Catchy melodies usually start with a rhythm that locks into the groove before you even pick notes.
2. Pick notes based on the chords – Use chord tones as your foundation, then sprinkle in non-chord tones for movement.
3. Think about shape – Is your melody staying in the same range? Or is it rising and falling? The contour makes a big difference in how it feels.

By the end, you’ll see exactly how I go from a basic, flat idea to something that’s actually hooky and usable in a track.

Let me know in the comments what part of melody writing trips you up the most. Appreciate you for watching 🙏
