RichardB1985,

Welcome to the forum and to Band-in-a-Box!

One way would be to record the audio of you humming or whistling the melody or playing the melody on a monophonic instrument. Band-in-a-Box and some versions of Melodyne have a feature that analyzes monophonic audio to create a midi track.

For instance, hum the tune while listening through headphones to a backing track of drums and bass. The drums will help you to keep the desired tempo while the bass provides the root notes to help keep you on pitch.
