Call and Response
This is a musical exchange as old as song, existing all across the earth. Rhiannon will sing a patterna and leave space for you to sing it back as closely as possible. Try to match tone and dynamics using the full range of soft to loud (which requires more control of your instrument). Notice how the time/feel changes during this piece, sliding from 4/4 to 6/8, world beat to swing.
