Ear Training I: Melody

Finishing this course will massively improve the quality of your melodic writing, creating emotional impact in the listeners and making—not only your music—but anything associated with it more memorable.

Annoyed by sampled choirs sounding like a big harmonic monoblock without any regard for the situation of the composition? Go beyond the “chord tracks.” Improve your composition of sophisticated music in DAWs that do not feature a score editor, like Ableton Live and Reaper, by developing the elementary foundations for linear polyphonic composition (a skill that Miklós Rózsa mastered as no one else).

The Discipline

  • — Improve your melodic sensibility.
  • Identify orchestral harmony based on bass lines.
  • Memorize your own melodic ideas while keeping the compositional flow intact.
  • — Fulfill the strict requirement for a correct counterpoint course.
  • — Develop a structural sense for phrasing and musical form.
  • — Study melodic repertoire based exclusively on musical masterpieces.
