We start with a set of chords in four-part harmony and find notes which fit the progression before going on to add melodic variation and input some non-harmonic tones. This music composition lesson begins with a chord sequence in the key of F minor, above which we demonstrate the most effective way to create a melody that fits with the chord plan. This involves determining the harmony notes that belong to each chord so that these can then be used alongside inessential notes such as passing notes and auxiliary notes to create a melody with character, purpose and direction. The melody is then balanced between distinct and conjunct movement before being enhanced with distinctive rhythm. Composers and arrangers will find this helpful, and it will give performers and analysts a clearer idea of how melody and harmony function in relation to each other. \n
