Lesson
1 Simple Melodies
A beautiful melody always captures our heart and attention. It is a powerful

love spell to both young and old. Composers create songs that gives joy, ease,
relaxation, and pleasure.
In this module, you will learn to create simple melodies. In creating simple
melodies, you need to familiarize with the melodic directions. This will help you
create simple melodies easily.
The direction of the melody varies. Sometimes it moves upward, downward or

in horizontal directions. It is determined by listening to the tones or by studying the
notations.
What’s In
Activity 1
Directions: Illustrate the scale in the Key of F Major in ascending direction.
Notes to the Teacher

This module is designed for independent or self-paced study. It
allows the learners to learn by considering their convenience for time
and or location according to his or her individual needs and ability.
Learners can study at his/her preferred time and environment without
undue interruption of work. Please make sure learners who use this
material can get frequent feedback and are given the opportunity to
reflect on information and on their learning experiences.
What’s New
A. Melodic Direction
Melodic direction is the movement of tones.
The movements of tones may go up and down the staff in steps and by skips.
There are also notes which remain on the same line or space.
If the notes move upward, the direction of the melody is ascending, if the
notes go downward it is called descending. Notes in steady or stationary pattern is
called repeated tones that moves in horizontal direction.
These melodic directions will help you create simple melodies.

Study the illustrations below.
A. Different melodic directions
1. ascending step tones

4. descending skip tones 6. upward-downward
2. descending step tones

5. repeated tones 7. downward-upward
3. ascending skip tones
B. Creating Simple Melodies
You will need the following elements in creating a simple melody:

 Staff - is the fundamental latticework of music notation, upon
which symbols are placed. It has 5 lines and 4 spaces.
 Kinds of notes and rests- these include whole note/rest, half note/rest,
quarter note/rest, eighth note/rest, sixteenth note/rest and dotted
notes/rests.
 Time Signature define the meter of the music. Simple time signatures
2 3 4
include 4, 4, and 4 .
 Key signature and scale- C Major scale has no sharp/flat. G Major scale
has 1 sharp on the fifth line. F Major scale has 1 flat on the third line.
 Home tone- is a term commonly used for the first or key tone of any scale.
(C Major-do, G Major-so, F Major-fa)
 Lyrics- it is important to consider the pronunciation and syllabication
of the word/s in creating lyrics for your simple melody.
What is It
What elements are needed in creating simple melodies?

What are the different melodic directions?
What so-fa syllables compose the first/second/third patterns?
What so-syllables compose the sixth and seventh pattern?
Which of the above melodic directions move in steps?
Which of the above melodic directions move in skips?
Which of the above melodic direction shows
ascending direction? Which melodic direction shows
descending direction?
How will you know if the notes move in steps or skips?
What’s More
Musical composition is the process of making or forming a piece of music by

considering the elements of music. It is a process that will take time. It starts with
your background knowledge; everything you have learned since grade one until this
very moment.
Every musical piece has two vital elements: rhythm and melody. Recall what
you have learned in the past lessons on rhythm: the different kinds of notes and rests
and their values, time signature, and rhythmic patterns. The lessons you have learned
in melody: pitch names, so-fa syllables, and the placement of notes on the staff, C
Major, F Major and G Major keys. These learnings will help you create your simple
melodies.
If the notes move upward, the direction of the melody is ascending, if the notes
go downward it is called descending. Notes that are steady/stationary or notes that
remain on the same line or space of the staff is called repeated tones which moves in
horizontal direction.
Activity 1
Directions: Create melodic directions being asked in each measure in the 3 time
signature. Use three quarter notes ( ) only. 4

below each note. Take note that in creating simple lyrics for your
melody; it is important to consider the pronunciation and
syllabication of the word or words.

Lesson
2 Creating Simple Melodies

Think of your favorite song. What part of the song you remember the most?
Is it the lyrics, rhythm, or melody? The melody of a song is what you keep hearing
repeatedly. When you sing the Happy Birthday Song to your brother or friend, you are
singing the melody.
Melodies are the most memorable and important part of a song. It can be
produced through human voice or musical instruments.
What’s In
In the previous lesson, you have learned about melodic directions. Melody can
move upward, downward, in steps, in skips or repeated.
Directions: Analyze the following melodies below in Key of C Major. Tell whether the
notes in each number move downward step, downward skip, upward
step, upward skip or repeated. Write your answer in your notebook.
Notes to the Teacher

This module is designed for independent or self-paced study. It allows the
learners to learn by considering their convenience for time and or location
according to his or her individual needs and ability. Learners can study at his/her
preferred time and environment without undue interruption of work. Please make
sure learners who use this material can get frequent feedback and are given the
opportunity to reflect on information and on their learning experiences.
What’s New
Composing Simple Melody
In the previous lesson, you have learned how to create simple melodic
directions and the elements in composing simple melody.
Think about melodies like a scene in a movie, a stage play, a dance party, etc. A
good melody will capture and hold your listeners attention. Songwriters or composers
use a melody to tell a story and give the audience something to remember and think
about. They make music by combining notes in a scale. A scale is a succession of
tones arranged in the order of their pitch. This may either be played in ascending,
descending and horizontal directions.
To be able to write and read music on the staff, one must recognize the different
musical symbols and terms. The method of writing down music so it can be performed
vocally or instrumentally is called notation. This helps a person interpret a musical
piece.
This lesson will give you additional tips and exercises on how to make a self-
composed melody step by step.
Steps in composing a simple melody:

1. Key
Decide on a key of your melody. Begin in the major keys C, F and G.
Major keys sound happy. However, if you want a sad melody choose a minor
key. In this lesson, we will use the major keys: C, F and G.
2. Rhythm
Keep the rhythm simple by using mostly quarter notes and half notes.
3. Melody
Use scale of the Major keys.
▪ Key of C
▪ Key of G
▪ Key of F
Start and end your note using the home tone of the key. A home tone
is where the scale of a given key begins.
To make your melodies easy to sing use melodic directions of mostly
steps or repeated and less of skips, and it must be in a comfortable range to
sing or play.
4. Measure
Notes and rests are grouped into measures using a bar line depending
on the time signature. Decide how many measures you would like your
melody to have. In this lesson, you are going to start with four measures. It
will give a nice balance and easy to work with as you start learning to create
a simple melody.
What is It
1. What are the steps in creating a simple melody?

2. What keys are you going to use for your composition if you want to make it
sound happy/sad?
3. What is a notation?
4. What is a home tone?
5. What is a measure?
6. What is a scale?
7. What scales are you going to use as guide in creating your simple melody?
What’s More
Let’s try composing melodies in Key of C, G and F Major.

melody.
