Tactics

  • Listen to the performance track to hear how the parts fit together.

  • Speak the words of each part in turn, making sure that the rhythm is secure and taking care over the pronunciation.

  • Once the group is confident with each part, split the group into three and perform each part in turn before layering them all on top of each other.

  • Repeat this section ad lib before moving on to the ending.


Variation and Progression

Extension

  • If your group has learnt all three parts, try performing this warm-up as a round instead of always sticking to a single part.

  • Can you come up with your own phrases and vocal percussion to imitate the sounds of instruments? As a song writing and improvising exercise, try writing and performing your own versions.
