This task will end with your having polished your skills by notating some familiar melodies at Noteflight.com. You will discover the relationship between where on the staff notes are placed and the pitch at which they sound, as well as becoming increasingly adept at digital notation. Let's go!
Using either a mobile device or a computer, join and play the Kahoot game linked below. Notice as you play that as the notes are written higher on the staff, the you hear higher pitches. As the pitches are notated toward the bottom of the staff, the pitches sound lower. Higher sounds higher, lower sounds lower. Notes written in close proximity (up and down, y-axis if that helps) will sound closer in pitch, notes written with a wider gap (more lines and spaces between them) will sound as if they are leaping from pitch to pitch. Here is the game!
Once you have rocked the Kahoot game and discovered the relationship between the location of the notes on the staff and the way the sound (pitch), notate at least two of the following melodies at Noteflight.com. You don't have to guess at the melodies, notate them exactly as they are written on the page. Your goal here is to become more familiar with the mechanics of notation at Notation.com without the distraction of creating your own melody. Creating your own melody will be more fun, but this will be a helpful step to accomplish.
