MuseScore Tasks...

The following tasks are reasonably straightforward and you shouldn't have issues if you take your time and learn how to use MuseScore as you go. 
First you'll need to download. You can look up this address ( http://musescore.org/ ) or click on the picture above to download it.
Each of the tasks have a track called 'Compose' and it has the Glockenspiel sound. You can change this sound to anything you want but I recommend leaving it on the Glockenspiel until you have finished the task. Make sure you save each task again on your computer once you've completed it.

Task One:

Right Click here to 'Save File as', or similar.  The Task One - Canon MuseScore File.
Task One has all the notes showing in the Violin Part as Middle C (shown in the picture below). You need to replace the notes on the clef to something that you think sounds correct. You don't need to change the timing at all just the melody (tune). Where possible on use notes C,D,E,G and A (the picture to the right gives you a clue to the notes of the treble clef)

Task Two:

Right Click here to 'Save File as', or 'Download Linked File as' the Task Two MuseScore File.
You have been given the Bass clef of the Piano and the Viola Part. You need to complete the Treble 'Right-hand' part of the Piano. It is again in C Major, so stick to the rhythms from the first 8 Bars and where possible use only notes C,D,E,G and A.


Task Three:

Right click here to 'Save File as', or 'Download Linked File as' the Task Three MuseScore File.
This simply uses the Pentatonic Scale that we talked about before the holidays. You are to fill the 'gaps' in the bars to note pitches and lengths that you think are suitable. 

Task Four: 

Right click here to 'Save File as', or 'Download Linked File as' the Task Four MuseScore File.
This is your own composition. You are given a basic Chord Progression and it is up to you to add the Melody. Feel free to add more instruments to it if you wish. Play with the Dynamics (volume) to keep it interesting. 

Task Five:

Right click here to 'Save File as', or 'Download Linked File as' the Task Five MuseScore File.
This is a Pop Song, where you are to FIX the melody line. The first bar has been given for you.
If you don't know the song then YouTube it to listen to it...
