many fun-loving Filipinos in the
southern part of our country.
- Do you know what this song is made - Yes Ma’am. Melody

of?
- Okay! Every song has a melody.

Melodies are made up of high and
low sounds. The melody can be
produced by human voices or be
played using a musical instrument.
- The video we’ve watched is related

for out topic for today.
D. Unlocking of Difficulties
Melody
- Is a group of pitches or tones that
can be heard one after the oiled
melody also has rhythm.
Melodic Contour
- is the shape of a melody, made by
the way the tones move upward,
downward in steps or skips, and
when tones repeat.
Clef
- A clef is a musical symbol written at
the beginning of the staff.
Pitch Name
- Music uses the letters of the English
alphabet.
Ledger Line
- The small line crossing the note
makes the staff longer.
Scale
- . A scale is an arrangement of tones
using different pitches and durations
from higher to lower according to a
specific pattern of intervals.
Interval
- is the distance between two notes.
E. Lesson Proper
- We are now on the lesson two the

melody.
- Let’s define first what is melody,

melodic contour, clef, pitch name,
ledger line, scale, and an interval.
- First the Melody any idea with these

terms? Yes Sittie Marjannah?
- Yes exactly. In other words, it is a

group of pitches or tones that can
be heard one after the oiled
melody also has rhythm. The tones
of a melody have pitch and
duration.
- Like for example this song entitled

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU”
- The melody of a song is moving. Did

you notice that as you were
drawing the arrows between the
two notes, it is going up, down, or in
the same line.
- So, we have here the movement of
the melody.
Movement of melody may be:
1. going up one step at a time or ascending

stepwise
2. going down one step at a time or
descending stepwise
3. going up skipping one step or ascending
skip wise
4. going down skipping one step or
descending skip wise
5. repeated tones or no movement
- Tones moving stepwise follow the
movement in the staff as line, space
or space, line. Tones moving skip
wise follow a movement of skipping
a line or space. Tones with no
movement or repeating stay on the
same space or line of the staff. Look
at the examples above.
- As the tones move upward,

downward stepwise or skip wise, or
no movement (repeated), melodic
contour is created.
- What is melodic contour? Please

read the sentence Ms. Melmar.
Melodic contour is the shape of a melody, made

by the way the tones move upward, downward
in steps or skips, and when tones repeat.
- Next is the clef, class what is a clef?
- Do notes have names? A note

when placed on the staff has a
name according to the clef. A clef
is a musical symbol written at the
beginning of the staff. This symbol
gives the pitch of the written note. A
clef is positioned on the staff so that
notes will have their names.
- This is the G-clef. It is called a G-clef

because the loop starts on the
second, he which is the G-line.
Another name for the G-clef is
treble clef.
- Here is a step-by-step way to draw
the G-clef.
- Can you draw a G-clef? Practice

drawing the G-clef on your paper.
- Next is the Pitch Name. Music uses

the letters of the English alphabet.
How many letters do you think are
there in the Music alphabet? 26,
right? The first seven letters of the
English alphabet are (A, B, C, D, E, F,
and G) those are the letters of the
Music alphabet. They are used to
name the notes as they appear on
a staff. These letters are called pitch
names.
Below are the pitch names of the notes on the

lines and spaces of the notes on the lines and
spaces of the staff in G-clef.
- Is it possible to draw notes outside

the staff?
Look at the staff below. What do you notice

about the location of the notes?
- Yes, it is possible to draw or find

notes outside the staff. There is a
small line that serves as an extension
of the staff.
- Next is the Ledger line?
- The small line crossing the note

makes the staff longer. This line is
called a ledger line. These are used
to continue the line-space patterns
of the staff when notes are written
above or below the staff.
- Next is Scale. The word "scale"

comes from the Italian word "scala”,
which means a ladder or stair. A
scale is an arrangement of tones
using different pitches and durations
from higher to lower according to a
specific pattern of intervals.
- Last is the Interval the picture below

is the scale using the Curwen hand
signals and Justin Ward system.
- So that’s all for our lessons for today.

Let’s have an activity.
F. Enrichment Activity
- The class will be group into two. In
group 1 learn the song “Every
Morning” and to the Group 2 Learn
the song “Vitamin” and you will sing
this together with your groupmates.
G. Generalization
- May I call the two groups to share

what have learned in the lesson
today?
