-Everyone is seated in a circle-Facilitator teaches everyone the pentatonic scale in Am (A, C, D, E, G, A)-Facilitator instructs everyone to come up with a riff of 3 notes and build upon what the person did before them-Facilitator instructs everyone to come up with a riff of 3-5 notes and build upon what the person did before them

-Facilitator allows more freedom -- people can play as many notes or chords as they want within the pentatonic scale and build onto what the person did before them

-Facilitator conducts the group, choosing different musicians at different times to play in small groups or to solo (No one musician is ever put on the spot unless they want to be.)

Vocal Improv

-Everyone is seated in a circle

-Facilitator teaches everyone the major scale, singing in solfege syllables. (This also warms up voices.)

-Facilitator instructs group to sing the scale on a vocable sound (i.e. ba, la, na)

-Facilitator instructs everyone to sing up the scale (using a vocable) and stop on a note of their choosing. Participants must sustain the note until the entire group is finished the scale (do this 3x for practice)

-Facilitator divides group into 4 sections. Each group must come up with a a line of melody, sung on a vocable. They will practice and memorize the melody.

-Facilitator instructs groups to take turns singing their melody as a "call" to the larger group. The rest of the group will "respond" by singing it back. 

-Facilitator will sing a melody as the whole group walks around the space, either repeating back the same line or singing something on their own. The lights will be dimmed so that people's faces won't be visible but light enough for safety reasons. Participants can choose to walk close to or far away from other participants. (i.e. They can have control over how well others will be able to hear them.)
