How to Write a Countermelody

Today, I show you how to write a melody for another melody, or, better put – a countermelody. This allows you to achieve a really beautiful classical and baroque sound which scream refinement and elegance.  

Welcome back to May Melody Madness where I'm celebrating the release of the Melody Mastery Mini Course ►► https://justwritemusic.com/melodymastery  

Here's what you learn today: 

• What a countermelody is 
• The major components of a successful countermelody 
• How to know when to follow all those silly counterpoint rules, and when not to

A countermelody that pulls double duty of sounding amazing on its own and complimenting the primary melody is truly a feat of composition and arranging.   

This video serves as a primer and will help you organize your thoughts when you go to write your own countermelody.  

Thanks so much for being here!
