A melodic contour can have different shapes. It might go up, down, or stay the same. Some melodies rise steadily, some fall steadily, and some have a mix of ups and downs.

For example:

• A melody that goes up in pitch might have a contour that looks like a staircase going up.

• A melody that goes down might have a contour that looks like a slide going down.

• A melody that stays the same might have a contour that looks like a straight line.

Understanding melodic contour helps us recognize and describe melodies more easily. We can use words like "ascending" for melodies that go up, "descending" for melodies that go down, or "static" for melodies that stay the same.
