Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence Exercises
Part of the Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence Series
Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence V3 Two Triad Pair is part of a series of books on Pitch Class Set Improvisation called Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence. V3 Two Triad Pair is divided up into two sets of exercises written in treble and bass clef. The 1st set of exercises gets gradually harder but also more musical. Depending upon your musical skills you can start anywhere you want but for beginners I would recommend starting from the 1st exercise of the five. The 2nd set of exercises are called “Atomic Scales.”
These exercises are a technical exercise that really helps you to learn these ideas but also sound great as a melody right off the bat. There are 6 different types of “Atomic Scales” exercises in this course. You don’t have to play every exercise in every key. But doing this will greatly increase the likelihood of you using it in real music in the future. Below is a listing of the exercises found in this course:
- Closed position studies.
- 1st inversion studies.
- 2nd inversion studies.
- Random combinations of closed position along with 1st and 2nd inversion.
- Random combinations of closed position along with 1st and 2nd inversion with rhythmic displacement.
- Atomic Scales Exercise 1
- Atomic Scales Exercise 2
- Atomic Scales Exercise 3
- Atomic Scales Exercise 4
- Atomic Scales Exercise 5
- Atomic Scales Exercise 6
Explanation of 2nd Set of Exercises in Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence V3 Two Triad Pair Course
Below is an explanation for each set of the 6 different atomic scale exercises found in this course. Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups are presented in six different configurations.
These exercises are highly melodic and can be used verbatim as melodies when soloing. If we thought of the three notes as A,B,C then there would be six different ways to combine these notes. i.e. ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB and CBA. All exercises include MP3s as well as midi files so that you can hear and play these exercises at any tempo as well as versions in all 12 keys.
- Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the ABC sequence
- Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the ACB sequence
- Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the BAC sequence
- Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the BCA sequence
- Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the CAB sequence
- Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the CBA sequence

What people are saying:
From working with this book I have to say I’m fond of the 014 pitch class set. It reminds me of Thelonious Monk’s music, which I love, but don’t completely understand. This course has taken me one step closer to that understanding in that, it shows how to superimpose an 014 grouping to replace a dominant chord among other things. J. Ogland
014 is a very striking sound which took me a minute to comprehend. I’ve been looking for a way to change up my V7 to I7 chord voicings and melodies. While this book doesn’t supply actual chord voicings it does give me tons of melodic lines. It also has a lot of charts that show how everything works in every key. J. Mannes
I own all these volumes and find each one to have it’s own sound and application. I love exploring these new sounds which I’ve mostly been using as melodies but they could work as chords too. Really appreciate you guys putting out these books they are a gold mine of practical information on how to apply these modern concepts! W. Daniels
Hey Bruce, thanks for putting out this 014 book. I’ve been intrigued by the sound ever since I heard your composition “Numbers.” To me these 014s are an eerie snake like sound that I’m really digging. U. Lucas
