Lyrics and prosody
This is arguably the most valuable section. Using graphs and transcribed melodies, Perricone maps out the "shape" of hit songs. You will learn about: - (creates excitement or longing) - Descending melodies (creates resolution or sadness) - Arch-shaped melodies (classic, balanced) - Wave-shaped melodies (modern, angular)
You will be shocked at how much more natural your melodies sound.
