Creates an original melody within simple rules (5 notes, ending on C), listens to it and plays it again.
Topic
You’re the composer! Write your own melody; if you follow the rules, your melody ‘comes home’.
Prior knowledge

Teacher note
Rules: 8 notes, at least 3 different notes, and the last note is C. The melody is saved on this device and played again in the next step. Students can play their melodies to each other and give them names.
Lesson steps
- Play your 8-note melody with the keys from C to G. Make the last note C!
- Listen to your own melody and play it once more!
