Counterpoint Theory Masterclass : How to add depth to a simple chord progression!

In this composition masterclass, we are working our way from a simple accompanied melody to a four part music, having four melodies interact and complement each other. Using a music theory called modal counterpoint, I show you a step by step approach to bringing life to a simple melody with a chord progression. Counterpoint can add so much more depth to your harmony. Giving you some composition tips & techniques to introduce dissonance in unexpected places and trying to smooth them out with the other voices.
