My name is Gena and I am currently a 7th grader at Franklin Classical Middle School.

To create this music project, I had to understand the concept of major and minor scales and triads based on the tonic of the scale. I figured out the scale by using the major and minor formulas. The major formula is (WWH)W(WWH). The minor formula is (WHW)W(HWW).

I created a melody in a D Major scale which consists of two sharps, F and C. However, I also created another melody in a D Minor scale which includes only one flat, B. The way I created the melodies was I just began to put notes on different lines and spaces on the staff. After that I just experimented with it to see what sounds good and what does not.

I took the melodies I had created in Project Part 2 and incorporated in this part. I also added triads in bass clef to make it sound like an actual song you would hear. These triads were the harmony of the song. The triads in bass clef made an impact to the melody. By doing all of this, I believe that this song that I created sounded great.
