In music, Melody is about the succession of tones heard in a song. It is

pleasant to hear. It is also an expression of the musician’s feelings and views.
In a musical piece, it is the part of the musical composition, which
discusses to the up and down movement of tones placed on the staff.

Melody applies the following major scale:

Key of F Major – it is a major scale that uses one flat (b). It is based on F.

In identifying the key signature of a song, always remember that it is named

after the letter name where the sofa syllaba DO is. The key signature tells us the
position of the DO on the staff. It also opens the places of the remaining pitches.

(Note: The sofa syllaba DO stands as the home tone.)

Scale of F Major
The sofa syllaba DO in the Key of F is found on the F space or on the first space of the
staff. For example, the song “May Pulis sa Ilalim ng Tulay” uses the Key of F because the
Do is on the F line.
