Improvisation

Can you create your own piece that imitates the melody rhythms in this piece but uses the notes in a different order?

1. Choose a key signature for your improvisation.

2. Experiment with right-hand melodies as you think of the words "Caterpillar Jump, Caterpillar Jump, Caterpillar Caterpillar Fly."

3. Consider adding a melodic sequence or repeating your theme in the relative minor key.

4. Add left-hand chord harmony to match your melody notes.
