Melodic Rotations Learning to Improvise More Based on the Composition

"Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence" is a series of books that will help you to develop many different musical skills simultaneously. The source materials for these books are exercises that contain two 3 note groupings, also called "trichords," that are manipulated in various ways. These exercises use many different types of harmonic and melodic ideas that can be superimposed over common chord progressions, scales and other musical situations. The exercises found in these courses are also great for singing and rhythm studies. Finally, the "Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence" course concentrates on the use of the three note pitch class sets (trichords) by pairing each trichord with another trichord with the same prime form. For instance, in this volume a Blues scale is divided up into two 3 note segments. Various exercises are presented that help you master this idea and examples can be seen below. This is an excellent way to get some new ideas from an old yet great scale.

Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence Exercises

This course is divided up into two sets of exercises written in treble and bass clef. The 1st set of exercises gets gradually harder but also more musical. Depending upon your musical skills you can start anywhere you want but for beginners I would recommend starting from the 1st exercise of the five. The 2nd set of exercises are called "Atomic Scales." These exercises are a technical exercise that really helps you to learn these ideas but also sound great as a melody right off the bat. There are 6 different types of "Atomic Scales" exercises in this course. You don't have to play every exercise in every key. But doing this will greatly increase the likelihood of you using it in real music in the future. Below is a listing of the exercises found in this course: Closed position studies. 1st inversion studies. 2nd inversion studies. Random combinations of closed position along with 1st and 2nd inversion. Random combinations of closed position along with 1st and 2nd inversion with rhythmic displacement. Atomic Scales Exercise 1 Atomic Scales Exercise 2 Atomic Scales Exercise 3 Atomic Scales Exercise 4 Atomic Scales Exercise 5 Atomic Scales Exercise 6

Explanation of 1st Set of Exercises in Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence V21A Course

Below is an explanation for each set of the 6 different atomic scale exercises found in this course. Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups are presented in six different configurations. These exercises are highly melodic and can be used verbatim as melodies when soloing. If we thought of the three notes as A,B,C then there would be six different ways to combine these notes. i.e. ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB and CBA. All exercises include MP3s as well as midi files so that you can hear and play these exercises at any tempo as well as versions in all 12 keys. Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the ABC sequence Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the ACB sequence Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the BAC sequence Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the BCA sequence Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the CAB sequence Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the CBA sequence

Three Note Modal Sequencing for All Instrumentalists

Three Note Modal Sequencing is a large undertaking because there are exponentially more combinations than Two Note Modal Sequencing. Three note sequences are very common in all types of music. Probably the most famous three note sequences can be found in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, but you will find their use in the solos of almost any contemporary artist. The Modal Sequencing courses have been set up so that they are -- along with being an excellent way to improve your technical ability-- also a robust melodic ear training tool. MP3s are included for all modal sequences which in the case of the Three Note Modal Sequencing is 30,000 MP3s. Don't let that number frighten you; the main thing to remember is that these are familiar melodic patterns, they are really nice to listen to, and most importantly, you will experience rapid improvement in your musicianship from the get-go. These MP3s play each modal sequence ascending and descending which the student then identifies. Since three note sequences are so prevalent in music, using these files for ear training will greatly improve your recognition of longer melodies. It is, of course, recommended that you first work with our "Contextual Ear Training" courses before attempting these longer melody exercises. Please Note: If you are a guitarist we highly recommend that you also work with the Guitar Technique and Physiology Course so that you develop the modal sequences with the proper technique.

Three Note Modal Sequencing Background

Modal Sequencing has long been a tool that musicians use to create great melodies and to improve their technical ability and aural comprehension. This series of courses covering Two, Three and Four Note Modal Sequencing provides a student with a comprehensive range of information on multiple levels to help understand this crucial aspect of music. Twenty Nine different modes are covered for a student to practice and master these important structures. Each course from Modal Sequencing shows how every melodic sequence could be changed to create not only other melodic but also rhythmic permutations, which gives an improviser many choices when applying these melodies. A PDF showing the modal sequence along with MP3s and Midifiles to hear each exercise have been included for all sequences. This greatly aids overall development because the student can check their accuracy when playing, singing or doing ear training exercises. Each course of the Modal Sequencing provides you with multiple exercises that you can do to improve your ear training skills. No matter how you use these exercises, by working with them you are using musically familiar patterns that will prepare you to improvise or compose over common melodies you encounter throughout your musical life. There are many ways these modal sequences can help your musicianship. Below are just some of the uses you will find for these courses: Developing new ideas for improvising whether you are a beginner or an advanced player Developing a deeper knowledge of the scales included in this study. Developing your technical skills. Modal Sequences are a "super" chops building machine. Developing your ear training skills by singing and hearing various examples. Developing the ability to both technically and aurally recognize common melodic movement. Developing a melodic language that allows you to be more compositional in your improvisations Developing a way to organize scalar ideas. Developing a way to use these melodic patterns on multiple metric levels.

What's in each Course?

First, if you look further down on this page you will see examples from PDFs from the series so you can get a better idea of the layout of each course. Modal sequencing is playing through a scale with a pattern, such as playing a scale ascending and descending with thirds. This type of technique has been around since at least the 17th century. One listen to Johann Sebastian Bach's music will give you many examples of using modal sequencing as will listening to any Jazz, Blues or Heavy Metal player. The Two, Three and Four Note Modal Sequencing course uses 29 scales which include the following: Click on triangle to see lists of scales: Major Dorian Phrygian Lydian Mixolydian Aeolian Locrian Melodic Minor Ascending Dorian b2 Lydian #5 Lydian b7 Mixolydian b6 Locrian Natural 2 Altered Diminished Symmetrical Diminished Whole Tone Harmonic Minor Mixolydian b2b6 Major Pentatonic Minor Pentatonic Blues Harmonic Major Dorian b5 Phrygian b4 Lydian b3 Mixolydian b2 Lydian #2#5 Locrian bb7 This course concentrates on Three Note Melodic Sequences through 29 scales. There is a Bundle which contains all 29 scales or individual courses that contain only a subset of these scales. Below is a breakdown of the individual courses available for Three Note Modal Sequencing. Three Note Modal Sequencing Bundle contains all 29 Scales Three Note Modal Sequencing Group 1 contains the modes of Major Three Note Modal Sequencing Group 2 contains the modes of Melodic Minor Ascending Three Note Modal Sequencing Group 3 contains Symmetric, Major/Minor Pentatonic, Blues and Two modes of Harmonic Minor Three Note Modal Sequencing Group 4 contains the modes of Harmonic Major

Videos Included!

Videos are included to help you apply modal sequencing and play them more musically. Here is a list of videos include: Click on triangle to see lists of videos: Working with Three Note Modal Sequences Applying Three Note Modal Sequencing Using a Whole Step and 4th Three Note Modal Sequencing Using A Minor Third and 5th Three Note Modal Sequencing Using Two Fourths Three Note Modal Sequencing Using A Minor Third and Whole Step Three Note Modal Sequencing Applying Articulation Three Note Modal Sequencing There is no audio for these types of files. Playing two or four note modal sequences in triplets or other odd rhythm groupings is a great way to disguise a sequence and also give it more interest. Because these modal sequences are played ascending and descending through two octaves they are good files for an intermediate level student to use to learn a sequence. Click on triangle to see a PDF example for fourth type of files. This example shows both permutations of a 3 note modal sequence in Db Lydian b3 scale using scale degrees 1,2,5 and ascending and descending one octave.

There are 504 MP3s for this type of file. An example MP3 for the above score is found below: There are also 504 midifiles for these PDFs so you can play them at any tempo. You can use these études for ear training, sight reading, transcription or just to listen to ingrain the sound of the note in the key center. Remember, you can play these examples at any tempo, super slow or extremely fast, with the midifiles that accompany this course. Click on triangle to see the last type of modal sequence. This example shows both permutations of a 3 note modal sequence in B Mixolydian b2 scale using scale degrees 1,3,5 ascending and descending one octave.

There are 1008 MP3s for this type of file. Keep in mind that there are also midifiles for each example so you can play any exercise at any tempo. You can use these études for ear training, sight reading, transcription or just to listen to ingrain the sound of the note in the key center. Remember, you can play these examples at any tempo... super slow or extremely fast with the midifiles that accompany this course.

Reviews

What people are saying: I bought this course mostly for the ear training. I think it's important to point out that the ear training MP3s play the melody but don't identify the melody like many of the other muse eek products. You have to look at the title of the MP3 for identity. Not a big deal, I even do it in my car where the name is shown on the screen in my car. It takes a minute to get used to the way they are labeled but no biggy. I contacted Mr. Arnold about these files and their purpose, here is what he said. "It is important to understand that when you are attempting to recognize larger groups of notes your mind will start using pattern recognition because once the speed and length surpasses your cognitive ability you will need to switch to a pattern recognition system which these files will help you build." I think that is important and a key point when it comes to identifying large melodic sets.. R. Johns Three Note Sequences has really helped me to build my melodic repertoire. Thanks so much for making this mega course available. Nothing else like it that I've seen!A. Frank I using these 3 note sequencing MP3s along with my Two Note Ear Training work and finding it's getting easier and easier to identify longer melodies. The large amount of files put me off initially but I'm finding that once I can identify a scale I can get the sequence pretty quickly so I able to skip over a lot of files making the job easier. I'm so glad that Mr. Arnold included the Harmonic Major Modes this is an area in which I need a lot of work. I highly recommend this course! T. Reagen I think my chops have doubled in the last few weeks. Damn this is great thanks so much! B. Workman
