These are real demos from the course — press play and hear the kind of progressions and melody ideas you'll learn to build. No sign-in needed.

Module 01 — Starting on purpose

Loop-first writing

A two-bar loop to sing over

C → G → Am → F on repeat — set it looping and let the melody fall out.

Module 02 — Harmony that moves

Home, away, and the way back

Home, away, and the way back

C is home, F pulls away, G walks you back — hear the three jobs in order.

Module 03 — Melody people can sing

Melodic shape: arc, stair, plateau

Arc, stair, plateau

Three melody shapes on the same chord: rise-and-fall, stepwise climb, then one held note.

Module 05 — Finishing and sharing

Calling it done

The final cadence

G resolves to C and stays there — the sound of calling a song done.
