A small practice for the unplayed melody

Original practice · Optional exercise · Small beginnings

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: An imagined song seems too large to begin.
2. Hum one short phrase and write a description of its shape.
3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
