In yesterdays lesson we did an exercise called pass the clap. We first stood in a circle and Mr Rennison started to pass a clap. To pass the clap you needed to make eye contact with the person you were passing to and then clap toward them. The person would then receive the clap by clapping. This would continue to be passed around the circle, but we did it to a rhythm. To keep the rhythm we all stamped our feet and if our clap went out of rhythm we would have to start aging.
We then made the exercise harder by walking around the room, instead of standing in a circle. We had to continue to walk in the rhythm as we travelled. It was harder to pass the clap whilst walking around, because it wasn't as easy to make eye contact with people because everyone was facing in a different directions to one another.
The point of this exercise was to work on the ensemble' s collect responsibility, their concentration and keeping the rhythm/beat.
