P1 - C1

Improvise by exploring different sounds and creating repeated musical patterns or phrases

Ask learners to explore different ways of making musical sounds on the Tabla. Discuss the variety of sounds.

Select two familiar bols, e.g. KHE and TITE. Ask learners to improvise their own phrases using these two sounds.

The teacher can promote learners’ confidence by:

  • demonstrating how to experiment with musical ideas
  • providing step-by-step assistance with models, patterns and procedures
  • emphasising the open-ended nature of the activity – all outcomes are valued and enjoyed
