Counterpoint Study in F-Major
The F-Major Scale
The Harmonized F-Major Scale
Here is a small and brief attempt to get you closer to the counterpoint topic. I ha-
ve chosen the examples in F-Major, since unfortunately most of today‘s examples are shown in C-Major. You find the Audio-Files to all 9 samples next to the PDF file
on my website (john-scrivo.de/lessons.htm). I hope you find my short tutorial in-teresting. Good Luck!

Sample 1:
In the first example, the F-Major scale is played with the low strings plus the third
(one octave higher a.k.a the 10th interval) simultaneously to each scale note.

Sample 3:
In the low range the counterpoint plays the F-Major scale accompanied by the in-
tervals of the F-Major scale in thirds.

Sample 7:
The counterpoint is within the melodic improvisation and the composition becomes
more interesting.
