Stepwise Acculturation Patterns, Major (Aural/Oral)

Lesson 2

We will now learn Stepwise Acculturation Patterns in major tonality. Just as we did with harmony, you should first experience these rhythymless melodic patterns at the Aural/Oral level.

Listen to the lesson, and echo the patterns on this video: Melody Lesson 2.1: Stepwise Patterns, Major Tonality (Aural/Oral).

Then, echo the patterns on the Patterns Only video. Perhaps your brain is subconsciously making an inference and assigning solfege!
