Looking for ways to overcome writer’s block and create compelling melodies even when inspiration isn’t striking? Say no more. In this music production video course, Stephen O’Connell provides practical methods to break the melody-writing process into manageable steps, use your DAW tools creatively, and explore new combinations of ideas. You’ll learn how to develop melodies from scratch, fill in gaps with counter-melodies and harmonies, and choose the right instruments to bring your ideas to life. These music production videos are designed for producers, songwriters, and composers looking for new forms of inspiration in their writing process. The course begins by addressing the blank canvas problem: how to get started when you feel stuck. Stephen demonstrates two approaches — separating rhythm and pitch (to simplify the task) and employing controlled randomness to spark unexpected ideas. He also highlights how instrument range and tone can shape your melodic possibilities.

Next, you’ll explore sequencing and sentence structures to craft full melodic phrases, followed by melodic alteration techniques to extend, reshape, and discover new directions for your melodies. These tools help you push past creative blocks and generate interesting musical ideas with confidence.

The remaining lessons cover creating counter-melodies (for added interest) and harmonizing your main melody to embed it in a song. Stephen shows how to analyze rhythmic and pitch information in your melody to select chords that fit naturally, creating a musically satisfying final composition.

By the end of this music production course, you’ll have a complete, practical workflow for generating, developing, and harmonizing melodies from scratch. See the individual video tutorial descriptions for more info on all that’s covered in the course and to see how these ideas can reshape your compositional workflow for the better.
