| SESSION 6: Repeat, Repeat (Motives and Structure) |
Motives are short distinct musical building blocks within a melody. Alisa shows you how to create structure in your improvisations by repeating and altering melodic motives. You will construct interesting solos on “Wheel Hoss” and “Dance Around Molly” by playing their motives in different ways, including slower, faster, higher, lower, longer, shorter, and on different places in the beat.
