  • This lesson covers the art of improvising using an improvisational technique called "cycled pattern" which involves the movement of melodies across the keys in semitones (minor second interval) or wholes tones (Major second interval). Watch our lesson on intervals to understand these interval related terms (semitones, wholetones, minor second, major second).
    These melodies can be chordal (arpeggios - broken chords) or scalar (short phrases - brief melodic statements).
    E.g The melody CDEG in the key of C sounds like drms in solfa system of music notation. This drms can be played thus;
    - On the key of C and then taken across C#, D, D#, E, F etc (Half steps) or
    - On the key of C and then taken across D, E, F#, G#, etc (whole steps)
    The art of taking simple melodies from one key to the other in halfsteps or wholesteps is what we refer to as cycled patterns.
