Melodic Metamorphosis (The Evolution of the Melodic Phrase)

Melodic Metamorphosis (The Evolution of the Melodic Phrase)

In this book I will be presenting a concept and methodology I use when learning and practicing new melodic vocabulary. These ideas are wonderful for developing a complete sense of the internal architecture and building blocks of any melodic line and its full implementation within each one of our own personal voices on the instrument.

I will illustrate all steps of the process by taking a very simple melodic fragment in the key of G Major. To keep things organized and to the point all examples will be presented in the same key, but keep in mind that this way of practicing can be applied to any tonal/scale system.

Using these methods we can develop an in-depth and extremely extensive study and practice program for any melodic idea we are trying to incorporate into our own musical dictionary. I believe that it is through these intense explorations and studies that we can really immerse ourselves in the very essence and musical meaning of any melodic vocabulary we are involved with and find its designated place in our own musical world.
