⬤ Finding your melodies get repetitive or lose energy as the track progresses?

⬤ Wish you had a clear, practical process to write better melodies faster?
Catchy Trance Melody Writing Tutorial
Tired of writing melodies that sound flat, repetitive, or just don’t stick in your listener’s head? In this tutorial, I’ll show you my exact process for writing catchy Trance melodies that grab attention, evolve naturally, and keep the listener engaged from start to finish — all without needing deep music theory knowledge.
You’ll see how I approach writing 7 x different melodies from scratch, focusing on the feel and movement rather than complicated scales or chord progressions. I’ll walk you through how to write a strong hook, then show you how to keep it interesting with subtle variations, clever note choices, and ways to evolve the melody over time so it never becomes boring or predictable.
These are the same methods I use in my own productions and with clients who’ve gone on to sign tracks to their favourite labels. Whether you’re struggling to start a melody or can’t seem to make it sound “catchy enough,” this tutorial will give you a practical framework and proven techniques to finally write melodies that stand out.
Get ready to simplify your workflow, stop second-guessing yourself, and start writing Trance melodies that truly stick!
The Catchy Trance Melody Writing Tutorial covers:
⬤ How I approach melody writing from scratch
⬤ Why the first bar can make or break your melody
⬤ How to spot “hidden” patterns that make melodies more addictive
⬤ Clever tricks to alter your hooks without losing their catchiness
⬤ How to use unrelated midi patterns to make melodies
⬤ What I focus on instead of music theory when writing melodies
⬤ Subtle ways to change the mood of your melody while keeping the hook alive
⬤ How I decide which notes to change (and which to leave alone) when evolving a hook
⬤ How to change up the “copy and paste” sound that kills emotion in melodies
⬤ Tricks for making repeated melodies feel like they’re progressing
⬤ The small tweaks that can completely change how a melody feels
⬤ How to create movement and tension without changing too many notes
⬤ The exact thought process behind writing a catchy melody

All The Proof I need
For my entire production journey I have struggled to write the big melodies like Asteroid, MAG etc. My style has been built around quite simple melodies and an attempt to create movement in the sounds I used. This tutorial could have been a tailor made 1-2-1 for a producer like me! Packed with useful information & approaches I had never considered. So from me it's a personal thank you! And for anyone looking to make the most out of less with their main riff, I definitely recommend this one. Well worth the small fee.
