How to Write A Song: Creating Vocal Melodies | Songwriting | Tips & Techniques 

i trust this guy

Jimmy was one of my favorite professors at Berklee! So glad I'm still able to access these videos. 💜

I've taken most of Berklee's online songwriting courses.. I had Jimmy as a teacher in one of them. Pat Patterson and his songwriting teachers are excellent...

Hearing Jimmy Kachulis speak makes me want to eat something, he speaks like he is talking about something very delicious

wait a minute is this dude's shirt secured with velcro

This is one of the most useful/impt lessons on youtube ever. Thank you so much. I've been trying to learn this very concept but didnt know the words "counterpoint". I'm so glad you taught this.

Thx a lot Jimmy! I thought for a minute that I couldn't write melody….had a mini panic attack. Your video reminded me of things I already knew plus added a few new insights. thx, i wrote something today :)

What is Mike from Breaking Bad doing teaching me vocal melody?

I like singing with the bass to emphasize an idea. ie. choruses. Thanks for the tip

Really useful! You put across ideas so clearly. Thank you :)

Im so glad i found this!! Amazing lesson, thank you

Sounds good, u make great melodies and you really know what you are doing. But I still dont know how to do one for my vocals 😅

I really enjoyed this video. Great job!

Loving Jimmy Kachulis videos! Got me thinking about melody lines in all sorts of new ways. I'm currently writing and releasing 100 songs in 100 days on my channel, so this is very helpful. Would love to hear any thoughts or critiques from fellow songwriters and music lovers!

This is genius.

Sounds like the theme somg of a sitcom

Loved this one, thank you!

You are the greatest instructor. Thank you for sharing your skills.

I have joined Pat Patterson's Lyric Writing classes... And, it is the time to check The Songwriting classes.

This video changed everything for me, appreciated.

That is an amazing tutorial

This was extremely helpful thank you

I can write songs, play guitar and write my own chord progressions, but I cannot create my own melodies without going out of tune, idm my voice but I'm not in tune man ahah I always fuck up doing vocals because I literally can't create melodies and it drives me up the wall my music sounds so boring

I thank you sir,this helps a lot.

Thank you Kevin Spacy

Wow man, we are in the Aladdin's cave trying to take as much as possible of the treasure.. Thank you so much Jimmy & Berklee Inst!

Good shit thx for the video

Really liked the last part

Very interesting tips ! Thanks :)

Circle of trust

love learning how to sing from Al Michaels

Does anyone know where the next video in the series is please?

very interesting - thank you

Love this

This is so brilliant

man the was dope and its from 2015.

Tony Soprano truly has taught me something today

hey!! I want to make vocal melodies like "Post Malone" please help me out!!! And appreciate your work🙏🙏

so nice and useful

I liked it pretty much

Can someone please please tell if this is right. So he basically played the third with a few flavor notes over each chord he played in the first example. If thats the case I'm so happy I understand that and how pretty that sounds

Interesting thanks

I love Yes btw

There's really knowledge in this vid. But I wish this vid has visualizations while he explains. 😅

Hello. I need help. Do chorus and verses have any melodic relation or you just write them in different melodies?

So what comes first song lyrics or creating melody? How do you do this to a beat? I picked a beat or track as they say. I write lyrics. Then I’m stuck. I never record or do anything with those lyrics. So to stop self sabotaging myself do I need learn melody or vocal production to figure how and what places in the best to sing and time those lyrics ?

He reminds me of the dude from american beauty

Mr Stallone is not only a great actor, but a great musical instructor as well!

Lol the melody he did first of is almost the same as myself by post malone

Silvester Stallone teaching songwriting.

help me

I wish the first five minutes of this video were as clear as the last 30 seconds.

He looks a bit like the villain from total recall lol

Why’s Sylvester Stallone teaching me vocal melody

And i dont understand anything. Haha..

this guy is into doin somthin else. this can't be exactly writing songs, i wanna here write songs without touchn any instrument. i mean from the mind creating beautiful phrases and build structure...

I used every single of the websites for free free coins and gems, and just GameCrook was real.

He can write a melody. but he can't play in time.
