Working through the Four Star Books is recommended. An effective book, but, hardly that exciting. So... Sometimes we work out by ear famous Rock era "licks" or motifs from well know melodies. The famous opening melody uses B, C#, and D. Have a listen and give it a go. Classical motives are fun too. Opening motif is in C minor, starting on G. Da da da DAAA, da da da DAA
Have fun. David

Bach - The Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by Arthur Grumiaux Classical students 1. Phrasing: Notice how the performer tapers each 2 note slur 2. Chords: Notice how the performer "strums" the chord from the bottom to top note 3. Dynamics: When the music goes up in pitch so does the intensity and vice versa. This is a very common effect in classical music performance. 4. Dynamics part 2: Phrases which rise start softer and crescendo. Jazz Students 1. Broken chords that ascend on a 7th chord and resolve in the opposite direction. Measure 4, beat 3 2. Enclosures in measure 2, beat 1 around the note C. Measure 5, beat 3. 3. The use of chromatic approach notes to chord tones in a broken chord in measure 3. Mozart likes these types of figures as well. See Fantasia in D minor measure 10. Have fun.
