Kitchen Table

July 23, 2018 By Elise Witt

23 Jul

Created by Brian, Rosi, and Alisa Amador aka Sol y Canto www.SolyCanto.com

KITCHEN TABLE

Done in Trios or Quartets

Person One starts singing an improvised piece. When satisfied, stop singing and pass it on to Person Two. Person Two sings an improvised piece and when satisfied, passes it on to Person Three. If there are four people, Person Four does the same, passing it back to Person One.

Person One begins a new improvisation, and the others begin joining in, creating a piece together.

VARIATION: KITCHEN TABLE WITH NEIGHBOR DROPPING IN

Once all the people are singing together, a new person steps in and solos over the whole.

VARIATION: KITCHEN TABLE WITH COUSIN DROPPING IN

Once all the people are singing together, a new person steps in and sings a known song over the whole, but letting the accompaniment turn the familiar song into something new and exciting. Inspired by Mystery Band.
