Due October 4th:


"All of Me Melody":

Using the same chord progression as All of Me compose a piece that is similar that makes sense with the chords. Use ideas both rhythmic and melodic ideas from all of me, don't try to write an entirely new tune that ignores the simple yet brilliant original melody!

Requirements of the piece:

  • Must use the same chord progression as the tune All of Me.
  • Must have notes that are related or closely related to the chords of each measure(don't write an Eb in a measure with a C major chord).
  • Should be closely related in rhythm to the original tune.

** Extra credit for clever lyrics

Keep this piece simple, don't over complicate the melody by putting in too many notes. It should be both singable and playable.
