Hey Cool Cat 🐈⬛ Today we’re talkinf about Songwriting for depression techniques: melodic distances of Steps, Skips, Leaps, and LAUNCHES – and how they come together to make memorable music ❤️ !
🎵 Story Behind The Video
I had a panic attack earlier in the week, and I found healing through calling a warm line, praying, and listening to songs I wrote. Together, I was able to save myself from the darkness that brought me to the hospital years ago. I want to equip you with these same skills so you can too use music to heal!
🎵 About The Video Series
Welcome to our melody songwriting series! Songwriting is one of the greatest gifts we have that cost $0 to do! We can express our feelings and experiences through music, helping us remember who we are, feel nostalgic, and find imagery through song. I hope this video series helps you find mental health healing through songwriting 😊
🎵 Student Notes
Hey there Piano Cool Cat 🐈⬛! Today we’ll be talking about how melodies are formed: a combination of motions up, down, or straight across, creating a beautiful sonic arch our ears simply call “Melody” 😊
