Her personality is like one of those cool music teachers in elementary school. And I love it.

" If you hear my high voice, then it is the high pitch, if you hear my low voice, then it is the low pitch " 😁 nice idea

When you already knew everything she talked about
But still can't make a melody

[snapoutofit]

I am a bit late to this party, but! Once upon a time, I wrote rather beautiful music and could play most any instrument i picked up. Fast forward to a crazy bad head injury (to understand level of bad, it required 50 stitches some glue and a bit of my skull is still missing) and I have retrograde amnesia and short term memory loss. I forget so many things, including & especially music. I try to relearn but it is so hard to make it stick. I am halfway through your video and not only is it sticking it is bringing bits and pieces back, which is super rare.

This is a very long winded way of saying, thank you, this video is awesome, I have subscribed :)

[ForeverSisAngel]

Everything you taught in this video I've been trying to understand for so long but you broke it down so well that it all FINALLY MAKES PERFECT SENSE. Thank you so freaking much!

[erickjmedina]

Watching this in 2019.. i want to learn more about song writing. 😊 i got a few poems, and i love to create melody.

[redwatch.]

Seems obvious now, but I never thought of making the melody out of the notes in the chords before. Thank you so much.

[britneyhuynh]

I'm MIND BLOWN at this! I've always had trouble making a good melody for my songs

[missdaraa]

Thank you so much. You're bringing out my inner passion that I've lost years ago.

[tcxiq]

I’m a child and I want to make an song and now I found you, Dylan Laine I can make songs you got a new subscriber

[morecowbellee]

I’m so excited you’re continuing the Songwriting 101 series!!!

[alishajhurry]

OMG I GOT IT
STUDIO, STAY STILL IM COMING

[vivid.oceanokurr]

I love how she makes it simple and easy to learn

[phoearwenien]

You are absolutely amazing. You taught me more in 20 minutes than I have learned myself for a year. Truly amazing.

[CesarDMarin]

I ve been having music lessons all my life. And this is just amazing. Simple and straight to the point! Excellent!

[Choicescoach]

This was such a great lesson! You are an awesome teacher. I’m new to songwriting. I’ve been writing lots of lyrics and learning to play the guitar over the last several months. You have explained so well how to write melodies. Thank you!!!

[listeningdeeply]

Your personality is so lovely, you literally spread love every word you speak. Not to mention the great content, I didn't know I could sing the same notes of a scale to make the lyrics sound good!

[souri]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours, that's why i still go back here if i feel lost and feel complicating things in writing a song, thanks for existing and sharing your knowledge about how to make a song ❤️❤️😊

[bluedusteyes]

This is one of (if not the) most valuable songwriting videos on Youtube OMG THANK YOU

[fictional]

You are an amazing human being!
I mean I searched for this while I was demotivated and after hearing and just being captivated by your enthusiasm I had to buck up and start writing songs❤️🥺
