Challenge: Write a 2-Bar Melody
Put steps, leaps and contour together: write a two-bar melody in C major with at least 6 notes that ends on C.
Your turn: write a two-bar melody in C major — at least 6 notes, ending back on C. Mostly steps, with one leap if you like. Play it back as often as you like, then press CHECK to grade it; meet the goals and you pass.

Two tips
- Start simple: sketch a clean line first — rise, peak, land on C — then decorate once you like the shape.
- Sing it back: play your melody and hum along. If you can sing it easily, it works; wherever your voice stumbles is exactly the spot to fix.
