April Prompt

It’s time to embrace April showers! Join us this April for the next Creators Club challenge! This month, your challenge is to take a simple “rainy day” melody and transform it into something that blossoms.

Open the Hookpad link below
Start with the provided melody inspired by falling rain
Reharmonize and arrange it to tell a story — from stormy to serene, or anywhere in between
Write up to 20 bars and submit directly in Hookpad

Some ideas to explore: tension and release, darkness and light, chaos and calm. How does your music move through the storm? Explore other Hooktheory users’ projects and receive feedback on your own. Creators receive the chance to be featured on our social media, YouTube channel, or Hooktheory email newsletter.

Let's Get Creative!

Never miss a thing.
