Choose a key
(in this case
C Major)
Then
Change to 8 click on
bars (for today) finish!
Remember
Use only these – you can
notes to start with.
only have 4
beats in
each bar!
Treble Clef (Right hand side of the piano or higher pitched instruments
To create an harmonically
sound bassline take one
of the notes of the chord
and move it to the space
or line below where it sits
in the treble clef.
Bass Clef (the lower end of the piano or low pitched instruments)
Task – Add an appropriate instrument (Like a bass guitar) to your piece and create a bassline
So far……….
A melody is a tune which goes

Activity 6 - chord.

melody into 3 steps passing notes
(extension task)
Rhythms
½ BEAT Quaver
Quavers
1 BEAT Crotchet
2 BEATS Minim
4 BEATS Semibreve
Melody Writing – Step 1 The rhythm
• Using the note lengths, create 4 bar rhythms ending each 4
bars with a minim or a semibreve.
• Put your rhythms all on the same space or line to start with.
½ BEAT Quaver
Quavers
1 BEAT Crotchet
2 BEATS Minim
4 BEATS Semibreve
Melody writing – Step 2 – adding pitch
• Using the rhythm you’ve composed you can now move your notes so that
most of them belong to the chord in that bar (Piano left hand).
• The best movement in music is in lines rather than zig-zag shapes
Repetition
Melody writing
•A passing note is one which does not belong to the chord
extension work – but takes you from one note of the chord to another in a line
Passing notes
The final part of the jigsaw is to try and ensure
that your piece of music is in a clear structure.
