Respond to the sounds that I make by making sounds yourself

Short rhythmic patterns may be the first elements of musical structure I can grasp; use Soundabout Music Tracks: Motifs

Remember, whenever I make a sound, it is always for a reason, although it may not always be clear what that reason is
So use your imagination to respond to me in whatever way seems most appropriate
You may decide to copy what I do exactly
Or you may change the sound I’ve just made,by making it louder, longer, higher or more complex, or quieter, shorter, lower or more simple
Or you may opt for contrast: do something completely different from what I’ve just done
In each case, how do I react? Is variety the spice of life, or do I prefer repetition?
Notice whether I’m starting to anticipate that something will happen when I make a sound
And remember, if I’m quiet for a while, it needn’t mean that I’m not interested – perhaps I’m thinking intently about what’s just happened
