A cappella arranging: How to write good counter melodies | Choir With Knut

A good counter melody, or counterpoint, can be as important to a song as the melody and lyrics! But how do we approach creating one for our choral arrangements? In this video we look at some tips for making counter melodies that are effective, memorable and support the main tune!

Choir With Knut is your number one resource for learning how to arrange for choral and a cappella groups! Through informative videos, you’ll learn about the voice types, how to structure a vocal arrangement or composition, how to go about arranging for voices/singing as opposed to other instruments, and all sorts of related topics, tricks and tips!
