Jim Bruno's Songwriting Class

This Week’s Optional Exercise

For this week’s exercise, take your phone number and assign notes for each number. For the sake of simplicity, use the key of C.

1 = C, 2 = D, 3 = E, 4 = F, 5 = G, 6 = A, 7 = B, 8 = C

So if your phone number is 345-771-1678, the melody would E, F, G – B, B, C – C, A, B, C

If you have a 0 or 9 in your number, use them like wild cards.
