4 Beat pattern Improvisations within a song context<br />

TONGO<br />

<br />

<br />

When the students are comfortable with the song, they can add another<br />

musical task<br />

Students create “canoes’ for the work song in a boat (each will have a<br />

different timbre)<br />

Sing the song through as a group, have the students Echo the teacher<br />

4 beat patterns, 4 times<br />

Next, let each student in the “head” of the canoe play 4 rhythms for the<br />

canoe group <strong>to</strong> echo.<br />

Continue repeating the song & the patterns until all students in the boats<br />

have had a turn as the leader.<br />

Students can “hop boats” while playing the singing game, so they can play<br />

several instruments in one class.
