Step Two: Harmonizing the Melody
Step two is a continuation of the first step. Once you have determined the melody, you must NOW find the right chords to accompany your melody.

Again, this is just a few pages on harmonizing melodies. If you’ve been helped by any of the free information on this page, you’ll definitely benefit from the content in our full 300-pg course.
