YouTube Lesson: 11 Ways You Can Use a Melodic Cell


This 57-page eBook is centered around a common melodic shape and tonguing pattern often used in Bebop and Jazz playing.


The exercises contained within outline a process for taking a cell (a brief melodic idea or motif) and finding ways that it can be used to build lines for study and improvisation.


11 Ways You Can Use A Melodic Cell is a thorough resource for:

• building diatonic technique

• playing through the secondary dominant-tonic (V-I) resolutions of each Major key

• using jazz vocabulary over tunes


Includes 9 patterns transposed to all 12 keys and 2 etudes over the form of "All Things You Are" transposed for E-flat, B-flat, and Concert instruments.
