On the Sonic Academy forums, I found a free tutorial which goes in depth on melody writing. As a compositional newbie, I found them very useful. I hope you do too!

It's just an extra resource for those who are interested - not an invitation to shoot it down.

To each his own, I suppose.

This is what the video maker wrote:

"Myself, I have always been more fascinated by harmony. Melody is a bit of a weak point for me, because I will literally sit there and question whether or not the melody is good, if it needs tweaking, et cetera...."
