Writing stronger melodies - lessons from nature (Udemy.com)

This course was a bit interesting; however, I'm thinking it wasn't what I was quite ready for currently. I will be able to use some of the strategies/techniques he offers. I believe this course helped me start looking at producing music from a different prospective.

É um curso para iniciantes e intermediários com pouca experiência. Dito isso, é um dos melhores cursos que já fiz sobre o tema. Estou retomando a prática da música e foi um curso muito bom. Tem uma forma de explicar bem prática e fácil de entender. Conceitos difíceis que foram abordados de forma fácil e super clara. Tem exemplos musicais que incluem músicas populares e eruditas. Deixo meu elogio ao curso e ao professor, além de recomendar este curso para os casos que citei acima. Abs.

First, Jonathan (hope I've spelled that right) has provided a way of looking at composing that falls into my poetic view of music. Reaching for nature's inspiration resonates deeply. 2. He organized it for simple understanding. 3. His speech tempo and voice are well suited to the subject. 4. I resonate with every part of the course, including Yash's courage to have his efforts dissected. I'm inspired and will repeat this course often and seek out Jonathan's others.

Definitely some helpful tips, but I feel the course is a bit short. It does show the teachers ability to be concise! Overall I really enjoyed it.

The nature metaphors really resonated with me, and they will be easy to bring to mind when I am composing again. The student critique section was very helpful too. I'm going to look back at my recent compositions, listen with 'new ears' and see if I can build some of these techniques in where appropriate.

Music has been called the language of emotions and Jonathan teaches you by tapping into the right-brain, where our emotions lie. He teaches using images in addition to left-brain analyzation where you feel what he's teaching rather than simply lecturing about some musical concepts. It's right-brained learning (and left-brained analysis), where creativity stems from, and I believe altogether it's a very valuable course.

I've been writing songs for a while, and have always wanted to get better at composing. I do feel like I'm able to write melodies that are catchy, but what was so great about this class, is that I learned WHY this works. It's given me a lot more confidence in the songwriting techniques I already had. In addition to giving me a bunch of new ideas to expand on that. Definitely recommend this class to anyone who's looking to improve - beginner or advanced. As it's hitting at fundamentals that are relevant for whatever level you'd be at. Great class!

I've really been wanting to get better at writing music, and learn music composition techniques. What was so great about this class, is I now feel like I *understand* how to write a good melody. haha...now I guess the challenge is still actually do it. But I feel like I'm much more on my way to know how to write songs, at a fundamental level. Great class. Definitely recommend.

Tons of great stuff here for writing music, or songs. If you want to learn how to compose music, would definitely recommend this class. It was a bit frustrating at first, to be honest, cause I felt sort of overwhelmed. There's so much great information in here. So I've been working through it again, in smaller bits trying to absorb/apply that portion. And then it feels like the material keeps getting better and better.

Just in terms of production, it's one of the best I've seen on here. How he uses visual examples, and the delivery is crisp and moves at just the right pace. I never felt, at any time, that the material was dragging, or going too slow. Lots of songwriting techniques here that I will be able to apply right away.
