Website Exercise 4 - Flight of the Bubblebee 

Description: The Flight of the Bubblebee is a good example of chromatic movement. We'll investigate right hand movements.

Instructions: Each exercise number will correspond to a bar of sheet music. Let's create exercises for the right hand. Look for similarities, example Ex1 and Ex2 is exactly the same as Ex3 and Ex4 played an octave lower, all the interval-finger placements are the same. The music is in the key of C but the chromatic moves take it out of key often. I want you to notice the note G# in the bass, from Composition 2, we learned that a IIIM was a chord in the harmonic minor scale, introducing the note G#, is this music in C Aeolian?  Em Phrygian #4 is also in the key of C and also uses the note G#.
