Pentatonic Exploration - one sheet

This sheet serves two purposes, one providing an introduction the the pentatonic scale, the other in encouraging improvisation.

It is fairly self-explanatory, the 'scale' in canon a good starting point.

To encourage improvisation (within the limits of our scale) have the pupils extemporise an answering phrase to one of the teacher's, matching or contrasting its mood etc., and then passing on to another pupil, with the teacher finally bringing the piece to a close.  The two opening phrases printed at the foot of the page are from Daisies are our Silver and Auld Lang Syne.
