Harmonic notes are in the chord, so they feel resolved. Non-harmonic notes are not in the chord, so they feel tense. Balance these two types of notes in your melodies, and your listeners will be thrilled and fulfilled. Have fun!Ray & Kate :)PS: This hack is from the Melody Checklist in: Songwriting & Producing PDF
