In this music theory lesson I discuss all you need to know to successfully answer ABRSM Grade 6 Question 3(a) Exercise 4 - Composing a Traditional style melody. I discuss various ways in which a short melody can be composed continuing in a given style, and how to modulate in a single melody line. I also show how a single melody line still implies full harmony, and I suggest considerations for the instrument that the composition is to be performed on. I explain all that needs to be understood to fully answer this question. The full lesson is available on my Patreon channel. Sample examples from this lesson are included in this short video.
