Assignment
Goal: To demonstrate your mastery of 1st position by (1) performing a line of music, (2) transcribing the notes of a melody, and (3) composing a melody
How to Complete the Assignment:
This assignment asks you to (1) perform one line of music that matches your skill level, (2) transcribe a melody, and (3) compose your own melody
Choose or get assigned any line to play through lines 1-6. Then, perform that line (either through a recording or in person)
Transcribe the melody in line 7. The rhythms are already given to you. You only need to change the pitches to match what you hear
Compose a melody for line 8 that is in the key of G, which means there is one sharp note: F#. Use the notes in first position, and try to use a wide variety of ranges. Show that you can compose with low note, middle notes, and high notes. Use chord tones and passing tones
