Can you read these short melodies?
Listen to Re and La (the notes d and a)
(Listen to ex A.1)
(Listen
to ex. A.2)
(Listen to ex. A.3)
(Listen to ex. A.5)
(Listen to ex. A.4)
Partner work:
1. Ensemble performance
If you can read these very fluently, choose any two and perform
them at the same time. (If you choose A4 or A5 you might want
to repeat them or combine them to make them the same length as
the others.)
2. Improvisation
With one (or even two) member(s) of the group singing any melody
above, the other member, using an instrument, should try to create
a melody which fits well with the melody of the other(s), but
using more notes. Use only "white" keys. You may find
keeping to D, A, C, E and G helpful in the first instance . Remember
that D and A will be the notes you will most likely want to start
and finish on!
