Description of activity

Show group members of a scenic picture, and ask them to choose instruments which might sound like the picture. Ask the group to play their instruments to make them sound like the picture, and emphasise the need to listen to each other. A variation to showing a picture, is to make a 'sound picture' with the instruments based on an imagined scene, such as a walk along the beach.

Song used improvisation
