Conclusion

 

1. Choose a scale

 

2. Work out which notes correspond with 1, 4 and 5.

 

3. Create chords from the notes 1, 4 and 5.

 

4. Design a progression using those chords.

 

5. Follow the progression using the notes from the chords to create a melodic phrase.

 

6. Add more interest and fine-tune the melodic phrase.

 

Finally

 

Go and learn as much about music theory as you can. Learn about the other relationships between notes, not just 1, 4 and 5. Practice your chords and scales. Practice playing from sheet music and try to apply what you have learned here to what you learn elsewhere.

There are many free websites covering music theory to an advanced degree, I urge you to study other writing techniques as much as possible and generally broaden your musical awareness.

Until next time...Happy song writing and good luck! RT
