When considering the dynamics of melody, there are various elements at play that make it rise and fall, ebb and flow and stroll, run or leap from one note to the next.
In the context of scale navigation, there are two directional choices - ascend or descend. While combinations of these movements alone can produce effective and meaningful musical phrases and smooth note runs, it can also result in our lead sounding overly linear - wandering stepwise up and down through consecutive scale degrees, as if we're trapped in a narrow melodic corridor.
The fact we typically begin learning scale patterns by playing through their natural orderly sequence (e.g. 1st degree to the octave and then repeat), what was once a useful memorisation exercise can become a self limiting habit of how we try to make music and improvise with scales.
One antidote to this is to start seeing scales as more than just a straight sequence of tones - to see them as a vertical as well as horizontal expression.
