Three-layer Score: Improvisation on the 3 modalities of Deep Listening

  1. First Layer-Low voice: Vocalize/Sing any low note and hold it, stay on that note or gravitate to other low notes you hear. Normal sound volume. Allow silence in order to listen to other voices.

  2. Second Layer-Middle voice: Sing patterns of 3 notes in any order, pitch or rhythm. Use your hands to reflect the energy and shape of your 3 note gesture. Sing or play at medium dynamic volume.

  3. Third Layer-Top Voice: Imagine a melody, if you are comfortable; bring the melody from your mind to your vocal cords. Use a humming voice or soft dynamic volume.
