Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Middle 8 is just a term for a bridge that’s eight bars long. A classical example of a bridge/middle 8 comes in Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm". It’s a standard 32-bar AABA song form: two verses (8 bars each), a bridge (8 bars), and a final verse.
Detailed explanation-2: -First and foremost, take the melody in a different direction. Don’t worry about “hookyness” for a bridge melody. Explore the opposite mode. Try shortening up the length of musical phrases. Think about how to connect your bridge melody to whatever follows. 10-Feb-2012
