Class, I will ask you. Can you tell me if the single
that has no tune is consider as a song?
Because, Melody is the sound that we hear
when we listen to a song.
We also have 3 elements that Melody won’t live
without. These are the Duration, Pitch and
Quality. They are combined to become a musical
whole which is commonly recognize by the
listener.
The first element is the Duration or the lengths
of time a pitch or tone is sounded. It basically
explains on how long the note will be sounded.
Duration has two different
The first is long duration.
For example: “Row Row Row Your Boat” (with
the long duration). That is what we called long
duration.
The second is short duration.
For example: “Row Row Row Your Boat” ( with
the short duration. That is what you called short Yes! Teacher.

low pitch of the song. If my hand goes up the
pitch is high and when my hand goes down the
pitch is low. (The students will identify how high
or low the pitch of the song is).
