We get some other classic Dalcroze exercises and that is canon. C-A-N, just one N, O-N.
Canon where something happens and then it happens again a duration of time later,
possibly varied. Would you do what I do four beats later?
Chick, chick, chick, chick. Same game, do exactly what you're doing but instead of
my doing the motions, I'm going to go to the piano and give you the sounds from the piano.
It promises it'll make sense in four beats. Here we go.
So
yeah, good, okay, easy enough, great, okay.
Level three.
Level three, I'm still going to be at the piano.
I'm still going to limit myself to those length, durations of time.
By the way, if we're thinking note values, what would you say the dupe feels like?
Quarter note, uh-huh.
How about the chickas?
Eights, the oohs, and the
hole.
Yeah, I'm going to limit myself to those note values.
But what I play will no longer sound like the words you're saying.
Make sense?
But would you still do the?
Good, understood, yeah, okay, great, here we go.
I'm going to start with chickas just because, just to, just to, yeah, here we go.
So
well done, well done, absolutely.
And effectively, we're doing rhythmic dictation as we do that, right?
We could make it harder.
I could mix them within the bar, but yeah, good.
Bye.
