I came up with my melody by playing notes together and hearing how they sound together and I heard notes that sounded good together and I picked those notes. The cello,violin and the flute play my main melody. The Bass Clarinet plays my melody once in the beginning. I picked the name because my song sounds bumpy because the note go high and low. I think the story is one main melody that goes and meets others.
One challenge I had was to put articulations in because at first it was hard to learn how to put them on your piece and what they mean. I think that music was challenging but fun because I learned a lot and I now know new stuff like what dynamics and articulations are.
