Musical Improv Games - Band

Picture

Good for:

Singing in an ensemble.  Vocal range. Vocal styles.

Method:

  • Performers are asked to think of an instrument in their heads
  • The musician or backing music starts (or this could be acapella)
  • Participants imitate their instrument. 
  • Generally everyone will start to sing along together and then be picked out for some solos. 
  • The instruments can be anything at all including percussion instruments, kazoos or didgeridoos. 
  • Once everyone has had a go at doing a solo, the piece can be brought to a big finish. 
  • It is quite fun to guess who was playing what afterwards, especially if it was quite obscure.

Tips:

  • Challenge yourself to pick a weird or obscure instrument
  • See what it does to your voice rather than trying an exact imitation
  • Join in with the group and hear the whole sound you are making
