Hey folks-
The latest issue of Bass Musician Magazine is now up, and my column this time around covers the concept of “Contrary Motion” in phrasing. Along with the article there are some companion videos for each exercise posted on YouTube.com… Be sure to check them out!
Here is an excerpt from the lesson:
Contrary motion refers to the idea that you are incorporating the alternation of both ascending and descending movements within the context of a musical phrase or exercise. Its unique character and effectiveness comes from the fact that it allows phrases to take on a shape that both rises and falls, and this is especially interesting for the listener. For those of you interested in developing your ear training and improvisational skills, you will quickly learn that an approach like this can take ordinary (and often boring) symmetric pattern exercises and make them sound much more musical. It is a strategy that also helps to promote melodicism and will even better your technical ability.
