Arpeggio<\/h1>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

A musical improv warm up from Phil Lunn.<\/p>\n

An arpeggio can also be called a \u2018broken chord\u2019, and it\u2019s where we sing the notes of a chord sequentially, rather than all together. Think of the piano underneath \u201cUnchained Melody<\/em>\u201d, \u201cEverybody Hurts<\/em>\u201d, or \u201cWalking in Memphis<\/em>\u201d. It\u2019s hard to describe in writing! The first four notes of \u201cI Could Have Danced\u2026 all night<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u201d are an arpeggio of a major chord.<\/p>\n

We stand in a circle and together sing an major arpeggio up the octave and down the octave, all together, with \u201cah\u201ds. We then pass it around the circle, one note at a time. Every time we complete the pattern, we do it all together once, before starting again with the next person.<\/p>\n

Teaching Purpose<\/h2>\n

This is quite challenging, and unless everyone has a great musical ear then it will take a long time to do it correctly (and that may never happen). Regardless of how much success we achieve, it\u2019s an excellent way to really, really, really, focus on what we\u2019re hearing from our partners.<\/p>\n
