I quite enjoyed this.
Advanced Music Theory - Melody Writing I have my own strong opinion but do not want to condition the answer - not that I think I could! Question is:
A melody the milkman can whistle born fully fledged without reference to chords...do you think it exists? Writers with that incredible rare gift where a tune comes to them rather than hashing one out (however skilfully ) while playing chords on an instrument?

If anyone says music theory is unnecessary they usually haven't learned it for themselves and might even be jealous that others have. They will use awful arguments such as: 'Theory inhibits expression'. No. It inhibits expression the same way a map or a compass spoils the exploration of new terrain. Fun maybe for a while but ultimately, they are lost and going nowhere. Thanks, these are great videos.

ngl i dont understand his sheet music writing. Can someone help? for clarification im trying to replicate it in FL studios and im confused on the timing of the notes and the spacing withing the 6 8 bar structure because it looks like there are 15 eightnotes and that doesnt really add up to me.

I like the way the melody, chords, cadences, and structures are all combined into a cohesive whole in this video. I think this approach will make it easier to write a great melody. Thank you for all the great content Music Matters shares!

Man your videos are just brilliant, they've really helped me understand music theory properly, for the past year Ive been learning scales and chords but had no idea how to use them. Thanks for giving me a sense of direction \m/

Inspiration is like crude oil. We get petroleum products only in a refinery. Music theory helps us refine what we have. I dont know if any of my statements be true for a genius. What if anyone writes sheets of music!?

Thanks for this video! As a less knowledgeable student I would love to see a video by you that starts from the other end, i.e.: I have a melody in my head - what can I do with it to create a full, interesting piece?

Hello! The video was quite helpful for composing. I've watched a huge sum of your videos, but I think i can't find a video that can help me 'develop' the melody once I have written one. Could you help me with that?

Alright, I like coming up with awesome chord progressions, but now I want to write melodies that fit into them rather than vice versa, is there another video or website that might help me out?
