Intervals: 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, or six-eight.
Beginning
Intervals are already layers of two or more notes, melodically or harmonically. Once an interval is secure in performance when sung between two students, layer shifting dynamics between the two parts by flipping which voice has which dynamic.
Intermediate
With two or more students singing a different part, layer accents and textures with call and response and the prompt "change."
Advanced
Have students alter the interval type using the interval smorgasbord, call and response, and the prompt "change."
