ideas for your melody/motif that could be used throughout your composition to create contrast and variation.

Rhythmic Development Within your composition, you will need to create rhythmic motifs and/or ostinati which you will use throughout your composition. In the space below, compose a

variety of rhythmic motifs and/or ostinato that could be used in your composition to match your image.

Consider:

Time signatures- simple and compound

Note value combinations

Correct methods for grouping notes

each section.

Changes could include:

Instrumentation (tone colour) (texture)
