Sing a different pattern
(creative response)
Sing something different from what you hear.
For example:
- sing the pitches in a different order
- leave out a pitch
Tonal 3-A-1
Using syllables, sing a different pattern with the same function
If you hear DO MI SO, you could sing in a different order: SO MI DO.
Or leave out a pitch: DO MI
Using syllables, sing a different pattern with the same function
If you hear a combination of SO FA RE TI, sing a different dominant combination.
If you hear a combination of DO MI SO, sing a different tonic combination.
Patterns using DO, MI, SO are called “major tonic”
Patterns using SO FA RE TI are called “major dominant”
Label the pattern as tonic or dominant
DO, MI, SO is “major tonic”
SO FA RE TI is “major dominant”
