Melodies built around a central note; all other notes gravitate toward it. Example: sing My Country ‘Tis of Thee
but don’t sing the last note. How is it that it makes you uneasy?

Tonic – The central tone of a melody. When a piece is in the key of C major, for example, C is the tonic.
Key (tonality) involves a scale, a range of notes.
Melodies typically end on the tonic.
