Join us on Patreon for a PDF file containing Jason’s handwritten notes for all the 5 lessons on “Creating Melodies on Piano”. Along with this file, you will also gain access to ALL the content which we put out regularly on our YouTube channel: https://www.patreon.com/jasonzac

Use the notes of the chords with interesting rhythm patterns to create melodies. Inversions are also covered

In this tutorial series, you will learn how to build melodies on the Piano or any musical instrument/arrangement DAW using any existing chord progression.

We have used vi IV I V, a very popular progression using in tons of songs including Toto’s “Africa” (Chorus), Avicii’s “Wake me Up”, Cranberries “Zombie” and lots more.

The key used is the Bb Major Scale (Bb C D Eb F G A) and thus the chords are Gm Eb Bb F

We play the chords in the Left Hand using inversions with a steady pattern and build melodies in the Right Hand using a variety of techniques
