Today we will begin a new unit.

This unit will consist of us working in groups to


create a round. The end goal of this unit is to create an eight measure melody then
turn it into a four person round. But before we begin working in groups we need to
work on our composition skills as an individual.
Step One: Play “Row Row Row Your Boat” as a class

Step Two: Create an eight measure melody.


 Determine your key signature and time signature.
o Can’t write in C major/A minor.
 Determine what clef you should write in for your instrument.
 Make sure to include bar lines.
 Include a double bar line at the end.
 Neatness is key!! Other musicians must be able to read and play your work.
 Complete in pencil.
This eight measure melody is due tomorrow, 4/19/2018, at the beginning of the
class period. See back for rubric. The rubric must be turned in with your melody.
