Janet Lanier Writing Better Songs - Part III - Writing an Effective Melody To get the most out of this feature, it's suggested you read Writing in Major Keys and Writing in Minor Keys before proceeding. Writing an Effective Melody Of all the aspects involved with creating new songs, working on writing a strong melody is undoubtedly the most commonly overlooked in modern pop/rock music. This wasn't always the case; the "pop" songwriters of the 1930's and 1940's focused greatly on writing melodies. In many cases the melody was the basis for a song, with lyrics and chords added later. Generally, the process of writing a song is much different nowadays.

Writing Better Songs: Part II - Writing in Minor Keys In the previous feature, we examined the basics of writing songs in major keys, and before you tackle Part II of this feature, it's advised that you familiarize yourself with that aspect of songwriting. Sometimes, the theme or mood you wish to create with a song doesn't suit the generally "happy" sounds that a major key tends to provide. In these situations, a minor key is often the best choice for your song. Which isn't to say that a song written in a minor key has to be "sad", or that a song written in a major key need be "happy". Many songwriters will use both major and minor keys within their songs, perhaps choosing a minor key for the verse, and a major key for the chorus, or vice versa. We've got lots more to discuss, but before we do, we need to learn what chords we can use in a minor key.
Triple harp Welsh triple harp by Tim Hampson The triple harp, often referred to as the Welsh triple harp (Welsh: Telyn deires), is a type of harp employing three rows of strings instead of the more common single row. The Welsh triple harp today is found mainly among players of traditional Welsh folk music. History[edit] The triple harp first originated in Italy, under the form of two rows of strings and later three, as the baroque harp (Italian: Arpa Doppia). The triple harp was quickly adopted by the Welsh harpers living in London during the 17th century. The compass of the Triple Harp, in general, is about five octaves, or thirty-seven strings in the principal row, which is on the side played by the right hand, called the bass row. The skill of harp making in Wales had all but been lost for some 60 years until John Weston Thomas (MBE), a talented wood and metal worker, revived the craft, making Celtic, chromatic and triple harps until his death in 1992.

Writing Better Songs - Part I Have you ever stopped for a moment to imagine just how many songs, in total, have been written? Consider... many thousands of years of songwriting, countless millions of songwriters during that period... there must literally have been billions of songs penned. What aspiring songwriters need to do is stop and ask themselves this question: "What can I do to make my songs stand out from all the others?" Types of Songs Most songs written in the last one hundred years can be loosely grouped into one of several categories; songs written around a chord progression, songs written around a melody, or songs written around a riff. Songs Written Around a Chord Progression - A favored method of songwriting by musicians like Stevie Wonder, the concept of writing around a chord progression involves initially creating an interesting series of chords, and then basing the vocal melody on that chord progression.
