Melody is such a central element of almost all music. I probably don't even need to explain what a melody is, you probably already know.
A melody is a series of notes brought together in a particular rhythm to produce a memorable tune.
The melody is perhaps the most important element of any piece of music and so composers spend a lot of time thinking up the best melodies they can.
