This week’s session involved students learning about Melody in music and getting a more detailed understanding of how melodic songs are produced. Discussion sectioned different segments of melody such as Rhythm and Pitch which were crucial parts of creating a melodic piece of music.
A task was given to towards the end of the session which instructed students to :
Write an original diatonic melody, in any major key, that contains four two-measure phrases.
Students found this helpful as some did not have as much experience with creating melodies individually before. Unfortunately I was not present through clearing for this session therefore I do not have a recording of my own from the session. However it was interesting to eventually hearing some recordings of others.
