Student’s assessment:I think I deserve 6 because I
know what to do, know how to do, and understand
why it is like it is. I think I need to be more accurate
and more knowledgeable on writing melodies to get
to the next level. I wrote my melody like what is it
because I have a low voice so I and cannot sing too
high, so I wrote a low melody which the pitches are
not too far from each other to make it easy fro me to
sing.
