The invitation

Same, up, down. Maybe the middle note asks a question and the last one gives a small answer. Imagine three notes and describe them in words. You don't need to read music.

First step

  1. Imagine three notes and describe their shape using up, down, or same.
  2. Try making one of the three notes longer and see whether the mood changes.
  3. Write the three directions and a mood, with a note about any held or repeated sound.

Shared version of Can three little notes sound like a question?

up / same / down. Held that second high note a bit longer than yours. It feels like waiting for an answer before finally letting the sound drop.

Shared version of Can three little notes sound like a question?

same / up / down. Starting from a note in my head, I imagine those three arriving slowly. The middle one asks something; the last one sounds like a small 'okay'.

Conversation

In my head, once and softer. Like saying it again to yourself rather than to the room.

Hana Kim

I can hear the little 'okay'. Does the last note get repeated?
