Vocal Chord Building
This activity is designed to build the harmonic ear, avoiding the classic exercises. We will improve the inner listening by building chords with our voices, focusing on the triads and on the tonal functions.
AIM
The principal aim is to develop the inner harmonic ear. This cognitive tool will help the participants to understand the musical text in a deeper way, facilitating the singing, humming process and the creative process.
Submitted to that, the activity itself will improve the tuning skills and the listening skills while singing. We cannot forget to mention that cooperation; new ways to practise and healthy singing are part of the second aim.
Description
- Order in groups of 3 or 4
2. Give the participants the musical reference
3. All together sing with arpeggios the I IV and V degrees withthe guidance of the facilitator.
4. Repeat the cadence without help
5. Group by group, give the fundamentals and ask them to develop the chord.
6. If they complete the precedent activities easily, next they will do directly different cadences. I-V-VI-IV
7. The most accomplished activity would use different cadences and would alternate the chords they have to do.
The last cadence but with changing roles, better said.
COMMENTS FOR FACILITATORS
As an illustration, you can search for simple, well-known melodies and songs to which these chords fit and you can sing along with it.

Playback
A short and simple game based on creativity and improvisation.
AIM
During the game, the development of improvisational skills and creativity is the most important goal, while the musical memory also improves a lot, and paying attention to each other greatly affects social skills.
Description
The participants stand or sit in a circle. The facilitator provides instructions on the game and which set of sounds can be used during the play.
First participant sings or plays a set of sounds. First of all, it is worth choosing a simple melody that varies 2-3 notes.
After that the next participant repeats the exact same set of sounds. If this participant sang or played correctly then chooses who will go next (cannot choose the one sang/played before) and improvises a set of sounds, starting with the same note as the last set of sound ended with.
The next participant repeats the same as the player before.
During the game if somebody cannot repeat the set of sounds goes out of the circle as being out of the game. The game ends when only one participant remains in the circle.
