Instructions

Experiment with ‘taste’ by eating different textured foods and reflecting upon the similarities to music articulations of ‘Legato’ and ‘Staccato”. Track these on the attached chart.

Example: Staccato – eating an apple, crunching on a carrot, eating nachos. Legato – slurping on a smoothie, licking a popsicle or eating soft cheese.

Other data collection: Log as many different feelings and experiences as you can on the second attached chart. Can you come up with TEN?

Finally: Try now to use your natural instrument - the voice- by singing the following sounds as a true experience of the sticky and smooth textures.

Legato – using 4 beats to each sound

“Soo-oo-oo- oo” “Lee-yee-yee-yee” “Mah-ah-ah-ah” “To–oo-oo-oo”

Staccato – using 4 beats to each sound

“K-k-k-k” “T-t-t-t” “Ch-ch-ch-ch” “P-p-p-p”

Tips

    Texture is one of the basic elements of music. When you describe the texture of a piece of music, you are describing how much is going on in the music at any given moment. For example, the texture of the music might be thick or thin, or it may have many or few layers. It might be made up of rhythm only, or of a melody line with chordal accompaniment, or many interweaving melodies.
