Ok
Here is your first exercise. Actually, this exercise was used for another student of mine in the lesson forum as well but he didn't have time to continue. So, I figure you can get some good use out of it.
I've attached an exercise for you. Its a theme and within that theme I have designated 3 motifs I want to you to focus on. I will give you instructions on what I want you to do.
1) First I want you to combine motif 1 and motif 3 using the rhythm & melodic shape only to create music. Don't worry about so much about preserving the relationship of intervals between the notes. Try your best to not always be suggestive of the key of C Major. Try to create 4 measures of music.
2) Repeat this process combining motifs 1 & 2 as well as combining motifs 2 & 3. Remember that I want you to focus on working with the rhythm and melodic shape for now.
Is the assignment clear?
