Need Help Coming With a Musical Activity.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So, here's the deal. I'm going to an "audition" of sorts in the Musical University here in Stockholm to become a Music Teacher. One of the parts of the test is that I need to lead the other applicants in a 10 minute activity in music, and I have not been able to come up with a single idea in the 3 weeks of time I've had to prepare.

The tests will be tomorrow, and I'm getting more and more desperate. I've been googling around for stuff all day long, but I haven't found anything that even touches the subject.

The only ideas that I can come up with are small musical games, such as where they need imitate each others music or try to guess song names. But those ideas require very little from me, so I don't think the jury will have a lot to evaluate on.

So, is there anyone here who has better ideas than me or even has experience with doing activities such as these. Any idea is helpful, at least it might help me see outside the box. Thanks in beforehand.

	This may spark something, otherwise - atm i can't think of anything. I hope it goes well tomorrow. Good luck.

	That definately helps me see this whole task from a new light. That's a very smart way of incorporating musical theory and at the same time make people think. I'll see if I can draw some of the ideas from that into a smaller group. Thanks for the link!
