5 Things I Wish I Knew When Learning to Write Melodies

[@craigmmiller35]

I've been watching a lot of material on melody and solo development and this is on the short list of most helpful. Good content and directly helpful - thanks for the post.

Great points that also apply when you improvise. Thank you.

Great points brought together well. I've been playing several decades and do well on the heads but the improv is not as strong as I'd like so this is very helpful. Thanks.

100% agree. I do this since decades and it is for me the basis. Reason why improvisation was hard when I started jazz 20 years ago. I didn't hear altered scales or other specific jazz languages. Now it is in my ears then in my play. For the fun stuff, actual film music is often a list of chords with computer power. When you ear it, that sounds great, but at the end of the film, you don't remember anything 😂. For me it is bad music.. Thanks for.the analysis

I hope this video helped me to write melodies by myself and avoid overthinking that my melodies would be plagiarized 😭😭😭

Coltrane and Parker would like to have a word about punctuation. But, the exception proves the rule. Great video once again. :-)
