Harry Potter Ostinato!An ostinato is a musical pattern that repeats over and over again without changing.

In some pieces of music you can hear layers of different ostinati. This makes the texture interesting.

You will need to work in groups of six. Your challenge is to compose a six layer ostinato using the character names from Harry Potter.

Each individual ostinato must include rests to make it effective. Think about how your rhythms will fit together. How is your piece going to start? Are you all going to come in at once? Are you going to

stagger the entries of each character? How is your piece going to finish? Are the different characters going to be different pitches? How will you contrast each character? Will the dynamics stay the same or change? What will the tempo be?
