Assignment #8: Compose a Melody

Guidelines:

  • For this assignment, you will use the chord progression on soundtrap and the motifs and phrases you have created.
  • You will decide whether a motif should be repeated, repeated but altered, or whether it is time for a new idea.
  • Your Melody should be 8 measures long.


Remember:

  • The phrases you use for a melody should be different so the listener doesn't get bored.
  • There should be some repetition of motifs so the listener can pick up on a pattern.
  • It is a balance between giving people what they expect and surprising them.
