Over a period of several rehearsals, introduce these rhythm rumbles one at a time, teaching the
chant and the correct rhythm by rote. Take time to emphasize the concept of steady beat. Once your
choristers have mastered the first rumble, teach the next. When they have learned two rumbles, divide
them into teams and have team one chant “Basketball” while team two chants “Soccer,” beginning and
ending together.
When your choristers have learned all three rumbles, the “part-thinking” fun increases! Divide your
choristers into three teams and have them chant all three rumbles simultaneously. Finally, challenge your
choristers to write their own rumbles by assigning a time signature and a set number of measures to
each team. They will enjoy being creative and will increase their knowledge of rhythm and music notation
in the process.

When first teaching this piece, the director should sing Part I, inviting the choir to echo as Part II.
Gradually add choristers to Part I until there are even groups of singers on each part. At that point, the
director should be able to drop out. For a responsorial psalm in worship, try having the choir sing Part I and
the congregation sing Part II.

When first teaching this piece, the director should sing Part I, inviting the choir to echo as Part II.
Gradually add choristers to Part I until there are even groups of singers on each part. At that point, the
director should be able to drop out. For accompaniment, use Orff instruments alone, piano alone, or a
combination of the two. Try using this piece as a choral introit or call to worship.

This is designed to be an easy, first introduction to hymn descants. Teach the hymn and the descant part
to all singers and then take turns having different groups try the descant each time. Use the descant on as

This simple song may be performed as a unison song, a two-part round, or a three-part round, and may be
sung a cappella or with accompaniment. The instrumental parts can be played by any combination of Orff
instruments, handbells, or handchimes, depending on what you have available. Feel free to use just one or
two of the parts, or all three. The instruments can all begin together or you can layer them in as the round
progresses. Use one or more playing the four-measure pattern as an introduction. The parts can also be
played on the piano in various octaves, if desired.

Come
Sing in unison or as a two-part round. Consider adding these simple movements to help provide a
kinesthetic anchor for each phrase of the round:
Ms. 1-4: Take four steps forward with your hands by your sides.
Ms. 5-8: Raise both hands upward slowly and follow with eyes.
Ms. 9-12: Take four steps backward, lowering hands gradually to rest again at your side.
Feel free to elaborate on these depending on time, rehearsal space, and the ability of your group.
