In this exercise you can practise timing and groove. In section B your singers can improvise different rhythms. When they think it is difficult to come up with a rhythm of their own, they can start with only a 't'-sound on the beat. Or maybe they are able to make a rhythm out of a quarter note and two eight notes. Use sounds like 'chee-kah' or 't' to make the rhythms with your mouth, but in the end you can make any sound you like. Below you find some suggestions on rhythms to do in section B.

# & œ ‰ œ ‰ œ œ œ

œ œ œ œ œ. œ œ. œ œ

œ œ œœœ œœ œœœœ

When your singers have learned section A, you can put all the subdivisions in between the notes and at the end of every line. The singers can make a 'chee-kah' sound on sixteenth notes. The goal is to feel all the sixteenth notes going on in this warm up on the background. Also make sure you perform this warm up without doing the subdivisions with the mouth but hear them in your head and feel them in you body.

From The Top When your group knows this song well enough, maybe you can try to let them choose the sound for section B on the spot without any plans made in advance.

They really have to be focussed on each other and open their ears.

Singing Is The Way To Go In section B you can do a call and response improvisation. Let members of the group take turns if they like that! Another way of section B is to let everybody do their own scat improvisation at the same time for 4 bars.
