Instructions

Become a Human Melody by using a familiar song like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” to explore the rise and fall of this melody. Start with your hand at your waist and as the notes climb, lift your hands above your head following the shape and noticing when the notes climb ‘step by step’ or with ‘leaps’. At times there will be large or small distances between the sounds and the music may move faster or slower towards notes. Encourage body movement as a source of experiencing the contour and shaping of the melody.

Tips

    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!
