Rounds

This item is not in the library — it is a part of: C. Bergstrøm-Nielsen, Intuitive Music: A Mini Handbook.

While sitting in a circle, each participant plays for a brief time before the next person plays. This can be done vocally and/or instrumentally. What each participant plays may be a variation of the music immediately preceding it or a free reaction to it. Rhythmic motifs may be used. The purpose may be to work with unity (doing something collectively) or with variety (to risk making a personal statement). Can also be done with a large group with sub-groups instead of individuals (see also "Dividing the Group" (↑)).
