Scales: Layering



Goal: To combine elements of music with improvisational concepts.


In Tempo

Singing/Playing

Teacher landscapes a time signature and with varied tempos in two-four, three-four, four-four, compound meters, and asymmetric meters.

Beginning

Layer different scale types with dynamics, textures and the prompt, "change" to alter the scale.

Intermediate

Use Call and Response to add one note at a time to a tone row without duplicating a pitch.

Advanced

Create a twelve-tone row in an asymmetric meter from the smorgasbord and change the tempo for each performance of it.
