Make up pieces with me using short rhythms or bits of tunes

Doing this will help me take my first steps to making up my own music

- If necessary, ask a trained musician to help you get going; you could start by using ideas from Soundabout Music Tracks: Motifs
- Start by taking it in turns to make short rhythms on percussion instruments or a touch screen
- Now do the same using our voices
- Then use melody instruments
- Sometimes, let’s imitate each other; other times, let’s make new phrases up that fit with the old
- Doing this means that we’ll be making up whole new songs together
- Can you make up some lyrics to fit with the new tune we’ve created?
- Make recordings of our creations, and give the songs titles, so we can talk about them in the future
- I could share them online with other people
