Melody Writing

Hello! I'd like us to have a go at melody writing today. This is a bit of an exercise in theory training masked in creativity (always good to have those two things working together).

I have written out a rather basic accompaniment and you folks will be charged with writing an awesome melody to go with it.

In class we will discuss how modes can be helpful in navigating note choice, though that may be something you don't want to think too much about when your creativity takes over. We'll see what side wins out...
