Music: Read this page completely before completing composition. For this composition portfolio assignment, you will use either Finale NotePad (link to download) or any other free web-based option such as Flat io or MuseScore to write your composition. These other options can be found and selected with the help and approval of your learning coach through a web search. I have students who have used both of these and they work great for completing the compositions. Some students choose to hand-write their composition on staff paper which can be found HERE. In your composition:
1) Include a minimum of 16 measures.
2) Include a tempo marking in BPM.
3) Include at least two dynamic markings.
4) Use a pitched instrument (not a drum).
5) Your melody should move mostly stepwise with a few leaps have a peak (one note that is higher than all the others).
6) End on the tonic note. (The letter that your key signature shows).
