Clap these rhythms one bar at a time, then try putting them all together keeping in time.
Up and Down the scale
Sing these exercises, all to a "La" sound. Try on your own before doing it with the track.
Grade 2 Practice Tests
You will get a chord and a starting note. Then you will have 30 seconds to look through your part (top line). After 30 seconds, you will get the chord and starting note again. I will count you in and then the test will begin.
Remember to do it to a "La" sound.
Aural
a. Clap The Tempo
Clap in time with the beat of the music with a strong clap on beat 1. Identify whether it is in 2 or 3.
B. Echos
Sing back after each phrase. You will get a chord and starting note first then 3 phrases which you will sing back to a "La" sound.
