Listen "Technique: Repeated motifs"
Episode Synopsis
Our demo tune for this lesson is ‘There will never be another you’.As you listen, notice: * How simple the musical ideas our pianist is playing actually are!* How musically effective it is simply to repeat a simple idea. It’s as if each repetition of an idea gains you ‘compound interest’ on the value of the original motif.Over to you! Get a backing track playing, and play deliberately simple ideas - just keep repeating them in different ways, and notice the musical effect.Photo by Frantisek Duris on Unsplash This is a public episode.
