Bringing the phrase to a visual shape! With a blank piece of paper and various coloured crayons, you may create an artistic picture of the musical line. You may discover 
that the line goes up steeply with the melody suddenly jumping to a much higher note or that it falls quickly with large intervals (note spaces). After you have completed your creation, listen to the recording again and conduct by following the line on the page with your finger.
A melody is a series of notes that when grouped together form a phrase. Melodies often consist of one or more musical motifs, and are usually repeated throughout a song or piece in various forms. Melodies may be found in rock, folk, and popular music with lyrics in addition to the tunes, voices or lines from Classical music, jazz, Indian Classical music, Balenese Gamelan and the list goes on!
