Exercise 1
Long notes on the beat. But where to breathe? Try to find logical spots. Between melodic phrases. For example at the end of the four bars, or in the middle.
Exercise 2
Two chromatic (semitone) connections are added. You could bend the notes downwards as well.
Exercise 3
Two similar melodic phrases in the first two bars. It makes it all sound logical.
Exercise 4
Two similar phrases in the last two bars as well. What’s the effect? It sounds logical.
Exercise 5
Same logic principle, now with added triplets.
