It looks like you've uploaded a music worksheet titled
"MUSIC 3: Melodic Contour", which is designed to help students identify the direction of a melody (up, down, or same) based on the pitch movement in a series of notes.
Since this is a
listening exercise, the actual audio played by the teacher is essential for answering correctly. However, the
images provided show visual representations of melodic contours using note positions on a staff. These are meant to guide students in identifying whether the melody moves
up,
down, or stays
the same in pitch.
Let’s analyze each of the five items
based on the visual contour shown in the staff notation:
---
1.
```
●
\
●
\
●
```
- The notes go from
low to high →
Upward motion
-
Answer: up
---
2.
```
● ●
\ /
●
```
- Starts at a higher pitch, goes down to a lower one, then back up — but the overall trend is
downward.
- However, since the question asks about
contour, and the first note is higher than the last, the
overall direction is down.
-
Answer: down
> Note: If it were asking for shape (e.g., "arch"), it might be different, but here it's likely about
net direction.

- Starts high, goes down, then up, then down again.
- First note is higher than the last note →
net downward motion

✔ Final Answers:

3.

4.

5.

🔍 Explanation:
This activity teaches
melodic contour — the general direction of a melody:
-
Up: Pitch increases
-
Down: Pitch decreases
-
Same: Pitch remains constant
Even if there are small fluctuations, the
overall direction from start to end determines the answer.
> ⚠️ Note: In a real classroom setting, students would hear the teacher play the melody and match it to these visual guides. Since we're relying on visuals here, the answers are based on the
pitch direction shown.
