1 Movement in the Children s Choral Rehearsal TCDA 2016 Convention July 22, 2016 Brent Gault Indiana University Jacobs School of Music bgault@indiana.edu Repertoire: Bim Bam arr. Shirley McRae (Colla Voce ) 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 7 th can be found in measures ~ 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.
