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

Ask learners to explore different ways of making vocal sounds in response to a text or a picture.

Help learners to make up short and simple rhythmic/melodic patterns from suggested musical starting points, e.g. call and response, using simple rhythms then simple tunes. Abstract or pictorial ideas could also be used.

Play ‘Follow my Leader’: one singer sings a short phrase, then the next singer sings another phrase, starting on the last note of the first singer, and so on. Aim for musical coherence.
