Composition Lesson: Melody First Approach #composition #jazz #education #melody #jazzeducation

Melody is a mysterious thing. Trapped between harmony and rhythm and yet it is something else. This lesson attempts to rein in a melody to use for a composition by letting it guide the chords and form of a piece. Join me as I compose this new song. I apologize in advance for my poor piano playing, but I wanted everybody to see you do not need to be virtuostic to write a great song!
