Pentatonic Project

DUE: February 15 by E-mail

Using the bass line given, write a pentatonic melody using the notes D, E, F#, A, B. Notes should only be quarter notes and eighth notes. Eighth note rests can be used, but cannot be more than one in succession.

This piece is in A B A form, meaning that the first four measures are exactly the same as the last four measures. Measures 5-8 should be different in style.

All students must enter their compositions into Finale Notepad, including the already-written bass line. Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors must write a duet to play over the bass line.

No recording is necessary, but five extra points will be given for a recording.
