Aural/Oral Tonal Dialogue- Improvisation Activity Plan
4. After two repetitions, T will engage students in differentiation. T tell S that
she will sing two patterns and the students are to show whether they are
audiating same or different patterns using hand signals.
5. T sings a melodic patter (DRM), then sings the same patterns (DRM) again. S
show whether they audiated same or different with hand signals (Same).
6. T sings a melodic pattern (DTD), then sings a different melodic pattern
(MRD). S show whether they audiated same or different patterns with hand
signals (Different).
7. T sings the song again to re-establish context. T repeats differentiation several
times, observing students ability to discriminate between patterns.
8. T brings out microphone and sings a pattern into the microphone. T informs S
to all sing a different pattern into the microphone.
9. After allowing S to try different patterns at the same time, T sings pattern into
the microphone, and then directs microphone to one student for them to
improvise their own pattern.
10. T sings several melodic patterns for many S to have a turn, and then sings the
song again to re-establish context.
11. T repeats steps 9 & 10 several times, recording which students improvised
cohesively in major tonality.
12. T concludes the activity by singing the song.
7. Possible Pitfalls and Teachable Moments:
1. Students do not sing melodic patterns accurately.
a. T will engage S in differentiation of melodic patterns.
b. T will have S imitate same melodic patterns
8. Extensions:
1. This activity should be repeated in minor tonality.
