Musical Improv Games - Blues

Picture

Good for:

Singing in a genre.  Using the voice differently.  Rhyming.  Using suggestions.  ​Backing track here

Method:

This is loosely based on a 12 bar blues.
  • An audience member is asked for something they feel a bit down about.  Go for the light hearted stuff!​
  • Blues music starts and each player sings a verse about the suggestion
  • A reliable structure is a rhyming couplet then 'I got the .....blues'
  • After all players have sung, the ensemble can all sing together, 'We got the ......blues'

Tips:

  • Try to set up a rhyming gag for yourself on the second line
  • Go for an innuendo or pun
  • Rather than sticking to structure, why not go off piste and really let rip
