It looks good. Sorry I'm so late getting back to you on this.

I'd like you to take those chords and do some more revoicings. Play with distance between pitches. Maybe group them really close together, maybe spread them way out. I've included an example.

Your melodic stuff looks pretty good; while the contours tend towards arch shapes a lot, the melodic contents are quite varied, and all really interesting. If you want to revise, look at melodic shapes that maybe are cyclical, or more angular.

New Assignment!

I'd like you to take your pentachord, and transpose it a few times. Then find combinations of transpositions that make up scales you like. Make three different scales.

For instance: I took your original pentachord Bb, C, D, Eb, F#, and combined it with a P2 (+2 semitones), which is C D E F Ab, to get the composite scale C D Eb E F F# G# Bb, which is really a whole-tone scale with added Eb and F.
