## Overview

A great melody is one of the most important ingredients in writing a memorable song or piece of music. It is what catches your attention and stays in your head long after the song has ended. The best melodies are often very simple to play or sing, which is exactly what makes writing them such a challenge.

Join Eyal Levi (Audiohammer Studios, DAATH) and guest Ryan Clark (Demon Hunter) for their half-day follow-up to Mastering Metal Songwriting. This class covers the basics of melodies, how to write them, place them, and evaluate them. Whether you are an accomplished musician or just starting out, this course will answer your questions about composing harmonies and melodies in a metal context.

You will learn how to construct a melody, how melodies and harmonies interact, call and response, countermelodies, what to do when your melody is not working, key signature changes, how to create tension and resolution, and more.

If you are ready to take your compositional skills to the next level, this is the course for you.
