Intervallic Improvisation

All melodies and chords are composed of intervals.

The chromatic scle consists entirel of 1/2 steps and contains all 12 notes used in the western musical tradition.

Intervals may be used over chod changes as connecive material or as a means of obscuring tonality.

There is no chord progression for this chapter.
