Start with the tonic chord, also called the I chord, which is built on the same note as whatever key you have established.

This part is easiest if you’ve established what key your melody is in. Your next step is to establish the chord progression. If you know how, write the melody down on staff paper. If the melody sounds happy and pleasant, it’s probably in a major key, if it sounds more mellow and sad, it’s likely in a minor key. Your last note will likely be the key that the melody is in. Also take note of which notes you start and end on. Take note of which notes are played most often and which phrases of the melody are repeated. The first step is to play your melody on the piano. Writing piano accompaniment is something that can be accomplished at nearly all levels of musicianship. However, that’s not necessary to writing piano accompaniment, and there are ways to get around that. It’s helpful to know how chord progressions work and how to build them. The more experience you have with music theory the better. It’s also important to know how to build major and minor chords from these notes. First, you’ll want to know how to identify notes on the piano (for example, how to find a C). You will need a bit of a musical foundation in order to write a piano part for your melody. Creating a melody is the first step, but after that, how do you write the piano part to accompany it? What skills do I need? Having been a musician myself for 18 years, I know firsthand how exciting and rewarding it can be to write your own music.

Being able to create your own music in an integral part to becoming a great musician.
