WRITE GREAT MELODIES - 3 Week Evening Course - Sat 10, 17, 24/05/25

Do you want to learn how to construct strong, expressive, powerful melodies?
This unique interactive presentation series with practical exercises will cover the techniques of Melody, Harmony & Hook Writing for songwriters – you’ll learn the elements of a great melody & how to use them in your own songs.

In songwriting Melody is King & it stands or falls on very fine margins as we often have relatively few notes to play with. If you feel you are not writing your best melodies sign up for a wealth of fresh ideas!

Looking at contemporary & classic songs of all genres we'll delve deeply into essential topics, basic & advanced, such as using Rhythm, Motifs, Pitch, Chords & Prosody (melody matching the music) as well as a simple guide to reading sheet music, music theory & much, much more!

The extensively researched, professionally presented series will include the following comprehensive Melody Writing classes:

~~03/05/25 – The Power of Melodic Rhythm & Motifs~~
10/05/25 – Scales of Emotion – Melodic Note Choices
17/05/25 – Chord Colours & Effective Progressions
24/05/25 – Supercharge your Melodies with Pitch & Prosody

These sessions are suitable for songwriters of all experience levels - you will naturally have written some songs, be curious about the melody notes you are using & how further tools can allow you to fully express your ideas in Melody & Harmony.
The cost of the remaining sessions is £60 but if you sign up for the early-bird price the total is discounted to only £47. There are limited places available for this unique, great value opportunity & tickets are bookable here:

Testimonials:

"Opened up music theory, ear-training & encouraged me to learn an instrument"

“Murray’s approach to teaching is wholistic in that not only does he present a concept and define it, but he offers real songs as examples. He proceeds to clearly break down those concepts using the song as a guide or template to illustrate the subject. I could undoubtedly see from class 1 to 4 how my level of observation, knowledge and application of the concepts increased.”

I’ve taken 5 different workshops in the past 3 years & have never seen a facilitator approach this subject with such a straightforward method of analysing song structure in order to replicate successful writing techniques.
