Some tips to use keyswitches and articulation mapping to make your pieces sound more interesting and dynamic

1 – Try combining different lengths of shorts to create more expressive articulation patterns.
2 – Don’t always just use a single articulation for melody lines. Try switching it up sometimes.
3 – And if you have short articulations at the beginning and end of a legato run, you can really make it pop.
4 – And here are those runs in context.

That’s how to use keyswitches and articulation mapping. Want to learn more? Watch EastWest Academy 1
