Teach/Watch Phrases 2 (16)

If you are working alone or have a small class size, try to share and learn as many of the phrases each of the students have created. If time permits, do as many of these phrases with the students as possible. Practicing it as a group makes the musical concepts so much more comfortable and approachable.

With a good amount of time left in class, hold a discussion on everyone’s experience. I definitely would not call it a “feedback session”...or solicit any type of group criticism. Ask them to talk about why they made what they made. What meter did they feel the most comfortable in? What meter/non-meter do they want to work on? What tempos did they enjoy the most? Which tempos do they feel they want to explore more? What do they think about rhythm now after going through these practices?
