MYP 1 - Writing a song

In class, after learning about the scale, and scale divisions, followed by harmony we have learned melody writing. It seems like only the most amazing musicians can write soaring singable tunes, but this is not the case. Anyone can write a tune with these simple rules:

1. chose melody notes directly from your chord (e.g. in a C chord: C, E or G)
2. chose melody from the chord, and pass through other notes in between on your way to another chord note (e.g. in a C chord: C – F – G)
3. start on a chord note and move up or down one note away from the chord, returning to where you began (e.g. in a C chord: G – A – G)

So why not try it out? Post your results.
