  1. THE essential question: In what ways can we engage in creative music making that can be achievable to many, regardless of skill? one idea : “on the spot” arrangements

  2. Key elements to consider when engaging in “on the spot” arranging • Have a clear understanding of the basic musical structure • Rondo/Ternary/Sonata • IntroVerse 1Prechorus/The Middle EightChorusVerse 2 PrechorusChorusBridge-ChorusOutro/Coda • Determine basic choral structure and play around with it. • Repetitive chordal movements • Altering voicing

  3. Start with simple patterns and determine how other patterns can be added to these. • Rhythmic patterns • Melodic patterns • Hooks

  4. Working with others is key • Find a balance between External and Internal ideas • Borrow whenever possible • Establish parameters from known sources • Risk being creative and playful • Don’t be afraid of improvisation • The final performance is ALWAYS temporary

  5. And remember… • Engage Collaboratively • Get the basics covered • Be clear and mindful in your language • Keep it simple
