Repertoire: “Bim Bam” arr. Shirley McRae (Colla Voce 24-96530) “Seal Lullaby” Ruth Boshkoff (Santa Barbara SBMP 619) I. Movement in the Choral Rehearsal: ~ Music Literacy Goals ~Aesthetic Goals ~Focus and Attention Related Goals II. Sample Experience One: “Bim Bam” (Rehearsal Unit: Measures 9-20): ~Focus (“Yes” and “No” rhythmic chanting (echoing and then speaking the opposite) ~Rhythmic readiness (slide 1): Students echo-speak rhythm patterns as they step the beat around the room. Students then create 4-beat patterns as they step the beat. ~“Bim Bam” rhythm (slide 2): Students read the rhythm and then read while stepping. Students echo speak rhythms using the syllables from “Bim Bam” and then read the section with the text provided (slide 3). ~Melodic readiness (slide 4): Students echo sing patterns using the tone set from “Bim Bam.” Students then learn the melodic outline for measures 9-20 (slides 5 and 6) and sing showing contour with body movements (la=knees; ti=hips; do=stomach; re=shoulders; mi=head). Students sing as the teacher sings the melody so they can compare the two. ~“Bim Bam” melody: Students look at visual of measures 9-20 (slide 7) and listen as the teacher sings. Students repeat and sing. Students then stand and move, showing dynamic contrast (echo) between phrases 2 and 3. III. Sample Experience Two “Seal Lullaby” (Rehearsal Unit: Measures 2-10): ~Focus: Mirror Game (Students mirror leader’s movements) ~Rhythmic readiness (slide one): Students conduct as they echo rhythmic patterns found in the song. After conducting, students will sway as they echo and improvise patterns. ~“Seal Lullaby” rhythm (slide two): Students will conduct and speak the rhythm of measures 2-10 and then sway as they speak this section of the music. Students will look at the text and then speak the section with text as they sway. ~Melodic readiness (slide 3): Students will echo sing major patterns and then sing the major scale. Students will then compare this to the second scale on slide 3 (Mixolydian written comparatively). Students will sing patterns using this mode to prepare for the melody of “Seal Lullaby” and identify where they think the lowered 7th can be found in measures 2-10. ~”Seal Lullaby” melody: Students will listen to the melody keeping the “wave” beat with the teacher: low-middle-high-middle low-middle-low-low
low-middle-high-higher low-middle-low-low
~Students will move and echo one phrase at a time and then sing while keeping the “wave” beat.
