In today’s lesson, students explored how to read and write their own melodies, emphasizing the importance of creating original pieces rather than copying existing ones. The lesson highlighted that a melody consists of two main components: rhythm, which is the pattern of long and short beats, and pitch, which refers to the high and low sounds. To demonstrate these concepts, students participated in hands-on activities, such as tapping sticks to create rhythms and experimenting with the pitch of sound by filling glasses with varying amounts of water. By combining rhythm and pitch, students learned how melodies are formed, reinforcing their understanding of musical structure.
