Actually, links to wikiquote are external links and "typically" are placed in that section (see Wikipedia:Sister projects), though I think in this case having them in the "Further reading" is better than alone in an "External link" section. Hyacinth 04:01, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Make the vocal melody catchy. Octave and a third, Do re mi fa so la ti do re me. Verse melody should be lower than the chorus melody. Don't repeat verse melody rhytms in chorus, don't repeat verse or chorus melody rhytms in bridge. End a line on the 4th or 7th note in the scale to create tension. Second verse or chorus can have a melodic surprise. Learn alot of old time vocal melodies on the piano, just playing one note at a time. "Cherry pink and apple blossom white" is a good one. Jingle Bells, Take me out to the ball game, Adams Family Theme.
