String Instruments, Rhythm Patterns and Composing a Melody

String instruments make sound from vibrating strings: guitar, violin, the Luo nyatiti and orutu. A rhythm pattern is a repeated arrangement of long and short sounds, using note values such as crotchets and quavers. A melody is composed using notes of a scale (C D E F G A B), moving by step or by leap, and ending on a rest note. Athletics events include long jump and high jump.
