Ok so I'm studying melody writing right now and I wrote this exercise with guide tones and hope someone can help me improve me melody writing. Honestly this melody isn't super great I know that but It's an exercise to help me get better. So please tell me what to fix in this melody to improve it. I'll be doing alot of these in this post.

First one, a simple melody in D major in 5/4 time
I'm working on writing in 5/4 time so this one is in 5/4 which for the most part is fairly stable but it needs something to flow better.

Audio: 14893

honestly I like the guide tones but the actual melody is a bit random so I hope y'all can help me out I really want to learn to write great melodies. ^_^

Now where's the criticism? I need help and no one is bothering to help me :(

I really don't know how to help since I'm a n00b on how to do melodies, but I like the sample that you did. :) Personally, I use Finale and input random notes, play it back and see if it works. If not, I change some things, make some notes flats or sharps, etc. Try inputting notes into whatever program you use to input the sheet music with your eyes closed. It's not a professional static, but it's a personal preference of mine. I've done it with several of my compositions in the past.

This is being picky, as in "intro to melody" picky.

Here are some things:

First of all, your progression is fine. No problem with that.

Second of all, the main problems are in your realization. The E in the first measure isn't resolved "properly" (look up "escape tone" - needs to resolve in other direction), and the B and C# should have a D in-between them to be considered "passing tones." In the second measure, the D is fine - the F# and G could be better resolved to an A, though. In the third measure, where is the C# coming from? Where is it going to resolve? (The C# - E - G - B chord which you create suggests vii(half-diminished)7, which screams for a D somewhere afterward as a resolution, and it's nowhere to be found.) Focus on trying to limit your interval space - keep all of your notes within an octave, and avoid distances larger than a third most of the time. Don't use repeating thirds too often.
