example shown in Figure 4.4.

Other notes can be added in order to further modify the second bar. For
example, in Figure 4.5, in the second bar of the motif, two notes have been
added from note G. One note has been added in an upward movement (note
A) and another has been added in a downward movement from note A to note
G. Note that, a melody can be modified using notes of different values. See
the example shown in Figure 4.5.

recommended ways at this step is to repeat the first two bars in a downward

in a downward movement. Finally, a melody can be finished up on the first
note of the scale which is C using a minim. See the example of a complete
melody with phrase A and B in Figure 4.6. Remember that you can use note
values of your own choice when creating a melody. It is also advised to end
a melody with longer note.
