Tactics
-
This piece is in three separate chunks, A, B and C. Learn each one separately before you add the body percussion over the top.
- A is good for getting the mouth working: aim for lots of ‘K’ on ‘Ka-re-oh’ and really bright, in-tune vowel sounds.
- B is good for loosening the voice with its wide leaps. Have fun and let the voice slide up to the top note.
- C is good for using the support muscles. Aim for a heavy, well-supported sound on each separate quaver. -
Now add the suggested body percussion over the top.
-
Try then to perform all chunks in sequence, then repeat it.
Extended activities
-
Try it as a three-part round, with different groups entering every four bars.
-
If you’re feeling really adventurous, you could try it with different groups coming in after every bar.
-
Invent your own body percussion for the different beats of the bar.
-
You could vary the starting pitch to warm up the full voice range (particularly in sections A & C)
-
Or, use this idea as a template and invent your own language to warm up with. Just have fun and be creative!

It's wonderful to have a warm-up in minor tonality. Can't wait to start using it with my students!
