Chorus

Now that you have refreshed our memory of harmony and melody and all it contains. Think about the many songs we’ve sung in class, all containing beautiful harmonies. Watch this short video about harmony. Choose a starting pitch, C – E – G identified in the video and build the melody of your short tune around that pitch.

Grade 6 you will receive the melody of the song.
You will then choose which two pitches you will choose which two notes you’d like to use to create your harmony around.
