5-note challenge

5 Olympic rings, 5 continents – and 5 notes

Take the notes of this special scale and let your imagination rip - then share it with the world by uploading it to the dedicated site. You can decide the style or genre you write your music in, and decide whether to use only the 5 notes, or just use them as the basis for your music.

Try these examples for inspiration

1. A piece for trumpets that takes the 5 notes as a starting point

2. A piano ragtime piece, which only uses the 5 notes

3. A contemporary dance track, using just the 5 notes

When you have finished your piece, save it as an mp3 or video and email it to hwtw@posterous.com

Then persuade your friends to do the same - especially if they live abroad, so that we can make 'Hampshire Welcomes the World' a reality.
