For use with WJEC Performing Arts GCSE Unit 1 and Unit 3 Task 1 Music Technology Creativity in composing

Task 1 Instruments and voices Research into the capabilities of different instruments / voices through personal research on the internet. Make a table with the instruments’ names and pitch ranges and any technical issues you may need to remember. Make a list of the benefits of using certain instruments and make notes on relevant technical requirements for writing for specific instruments.

Task 2 - Combination Listen to pieces of music using different combinations of instruments and voices. Discuss what effect different instruments / voices have on specific compositions. Consider how one piece would sound different by changing one instrument. Using MIDI files, import a piece into a sequencer and change the sounds to see the overall effect.

Task 3 – Keys and scales Before you start composing, experiment with different keys and scales. Research into the following keys and scales and listen to examples: Major Key Minor Key Modal Key Whole Tone Scale Chromatic Scale Pentatonic Scale

Task 4 – A good melody Compose a series of short melodies : Melody 1 – only include step movements. Melody 2 – only include leap movements. Melody 3 – a combination of step and leap. Melody 4 – all step and one leap. Melody 5 – all leap and one step. Evaluate the positive and negative features of each melody.

Task 5 - Chords Compose a series of chord sequences: 1.Compose 4 bars using chord I, IV and V in their root position. 2.Compose 4 bars using chord I, IV and V in any position. 3.Compose 4 bars using chord I, IV, V, ii and vi in any position. Evaluate the positive and negative features of each chord sequence and how you would improve each one.

Task 6 –Developing a melody Compose a four-bar melody using only crotchet beats. Rewrite the melody using a variety of different rhythms. Repeat this exercise three times so that you have developed four different melodies from one initial idea. Which melody is the best / worst in your opinion? Explain your answers.

Task 7 - Structure Listen to a variety of songs / instrumental pieces and jot down the overall structure of the piece. Compare similarities and differences between songs and instrumental pieces. Decide on a structure and compose your own piece following this structure.
