Banking service chronicle Monthly Magazine by bsc academy-subscribe published this article page no 11 the moment that people create a melody which they feel is great, many think it already sounds like another song. this is common, and i suffered from this many times. what youve got to understand is that all songs are recycled melodies. every song has a portion of the tune which will be the same as another. so dont worry if you feel your song sounds like another. whats important to know here is that if your melody is a familiar one, then thats a good thing. im not talking about a rip off here, im talking about a part(s) of your melody that sounds like another song(s). why is it a good thing? because it means people can relate to the melody even more. they will want to listen to your song because of the familiarity. remember, most people arent songwriters. so chances are, most people wont even realize where it may or may not have been inspired from. and what if they do? well... ultimately, as a whole, it will be your own words, your own tune and eventually with your own music. so it will be your song. so dont fret. here, ill share some methods that will jump start the process of creating a melody: - pick a song that you like and know *quite* well, and when you are not listening to it, hum the tune of the song. dont sing the words, just hum the melody. this way, you will think melodically. eventually, you should force yourself to sing certain variations of the melody (ie. completely mess around with the tune). when this happens, youll end with your own melody. - if you play an instrument (it doesnt matter which or what level you are at) try and figure out the melody of another song on the instrument. if you figure it out easily, then mess around and change certain parts of it. then sing (hum, la, etc) this changed melody out aloud. if you cant figure it out, then forget about it! create a melody you feel is correct! again, dont prejudge while doing this. just go where your fingers take you and just la the tune simultaneously. loop this melody once you feel you have something good. - grab a song that you dont know at all. listen to the song once, and then listen to it again. the second time around, sing along to it. more than likely, you wont remember the tune. this is normal! what do you do now? yup. you guessed it. make upyour own melody to this obscure song. note: this one may work better if you bought a cd of backing tracks that have no guide vocals on the songs. this way, you have to make up your own melody to a track thats already playing. just make sure you dont know the songs....at all. you have no idea how powerful this is. ive written fresh songs on ones i had no clue about! and believe me, they are original songs - they dont sound like a copy of anything at all. this is because of what i said earlier - ultimately it will be your own lyrics, your own message and your own music which then translates into your own song. *keeping the melody simple* lastly, there is absolutely no point in making a melody thats musically clever. youre not trying to impress musicians here. what you want is to create a melody thats simple yet interesting. so how do you do this? well, melodies often re-occur several times in a song. in fact, the verses and choruses alone will often have the tune repeating itself. its the basic structure of nearly all songs under the sun. the verses will repeat and so will the choruses. so....if the melody sounds worthy enough to be repeated, then youre on to something Banking service chronicle buy.
