🎵Melodic Phrasing
hardEb Cross-Rhythm Vocals
Play melodic phrases that group in 3s while the underlying pulse stays in 4. Start each 3-note group on Eb, G, then Bb (cycling through chord tones). The phrase accents create a polyrhythmic feel while maintaining singable melodic contour across bar lines.
Tip: Cross-rhythms create forward motion and interest. The melody floats above the beat rather than sitting squarely on it.
