LEVEL 16 — Complete Personal Arrangement

Now combine only the best ideas.

Your final arrangement should contain:

Introduction

establish mood.

First statement

clear and relatively simple.

Development

more color, fills, perhaps reharmonization.

Contrast

texture, register, rhythm, or style changes.

Climax

highest emotional/intensity point.

Return

recognizable melody.

Ending

deliberate closure.

This is not “everything we learned simultaneously.”

It is curation.
