These are less the building blocks of melody, and more a list of melodic embellishments.

Which, by themselves, don't really mean much. Trust me, I've tried building music that way. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I guess I've used a lot of these “blocks” already.
If I had known I was using them, I probably never would have written the songs the way I did because I probably would have gotten lost in thinking about what I was actually doing.

But maybe they would have been better...

I think these building blocks are a good starting point, but the best melodies often come from just letting your ear take the lead rather than overthinking every detail.

You are right.


This breakdown of melody is fantastic—David Fuentes really makes it approachable and clear. For a deeper dive into this subject and to get all the necessary information, head over to the link here: https://www.filemail.com/d/texaonqfozbhztf
