Play It By Voice
|
Play It By Voice is a learning system for
musical practice, creativity and social innovation
in groups of people who sing together.
Play It By Voice is intended to be a learning system
open to input – a framework that provides space
for several different types of mutually reinforcing
competence, and for adaptation to your group,
its repertoire and its individuals.
Play It By Voice materials include
• practice module tutorials
• learning principles
• maps of learning processes
These materials provide a starting point for
learning, to be adapted by students to fit their
circumstances.
The practice modules are designed for a combina-
tion of collective and individual practice.
?
|
Singers acquire practical knowledge of essential
musical factors, generally speaking, through:
• Learning from music itself
• Learning by doing
• Learning by understanding (rather than by instruction)
Understanding follows from first doing something specific,
and then reflecting together on what was just done.
?
|
Feel free to begin with a few practice modules
and exercises, and then add bits and pieces
according to your circumstances, preferences
and priorities.
?
|
Core purposes of Play It By Voice:
• to learn by playfulness
• to become aware of the power of co-creation
• to explore and learn about the creative power
by exploration of the potential of the total
musical intelligence of your group
Why adapt learning materials to fit your
circumstances? Well… when a map doesn't match the
territory anymore, then I assume that you prefer to
change the map, rather than trying to change the territory.
Why combine singer-centered and
group-centered methodology?
• Because singers make the sounds that we hear,
in the moment when the actual music is made
• Because there is a lack of understanding, within vocal
music culture as a whole, about what singers do while singing
Through singer-centered practice, you may get
a fantastic sound, driven by motivation.
Through group-centered practice, you may experience
a sense of purpose in your music-making.
Through a combination of singer-centered
and group-centered practise, individual and collective
motivation can be brought into alignment.
?
|
What is the source of Play It By Voice pedagogy?
Music is my teacher.
Everything I have learned about vocal music
is the result of observations of musical and
social interactions, combined with input from
numerous people that I have made music together with.
?
|
|
| Learning principles |
|
Experience first, theory and reflection later
|
This is a general principle for the order of
activities in learning processes.
?
|
Let the music speak for itself first.
Then you can talk, or leave it to the group
to reflect on their experience of what they just did.
Example questions for reflection:
• What did we do?
• What did we learn?
• What did we know already?
?
|
I suggest that you follow this principle each time
that you do an exercise. Sometimes you may need
to frame the purpose of an exercise before doing it.
In such cases, I recommend keyword communication.
?
|
When you initiate musical activities and exercises
without first establishing any fixed ideas
about purposes or intended results, then you may
inspire a mindset of openness and curiosity
towards musical exploration – free from
presumptions or prejudice.

Four modes of learning
|
Inspiration, feeling, physical awareness
and logic.
Inspiration and feeling are intuitive modes of
learning, where knowledge is assimilated
through subjective, qualitative experience.
In learning based on physical awareness and
logic, knowledge is assimilated through
objective, quantitative experience.
?
|
Inspiration
Having fun together is an important starting point
for any group activity, and a very powerful source
of motivation.
Feeling
Learning can be effortless and easy in an inspirational
and emotionally safe space, where singers are free to
express their feelings spontaneously – within limits
based on mutual respect.
Physical awareness
Through embodied learning and physical, musical
understanding, the learning process becomes
a tangible reality for the singers.
Logic
After having established playfulness, inspiration, motivation,
feeling, and embodied understanding as a foundation for your
activities, logical frameworks may emerge organically:
methods, guidelines and agreements that make sense,
according to the purposes of your group activities.
Logical and purpose-based structures may in turn provide
a clear direction forward, as individuals and as a team,
which feeds into inspiration and motivation – and thus the
learning cycles continue.
?
|
Logic (music theory, methodology etc) and
physical awareness (physical skills) can be practised
according to a schedule and a timeline.
Inspiration and feeling emerge here and now.
If you try to push or coerce these learning modes
into a year plan or into a rehearsal plan,
then your plan is not going to work out for you
in the real world.
Moments of fun and feeling emerge spontaneously.
There is no way for you to apply control or command
over these things. But you can learn through experience
how to encourage and reinforce fun and feeling in the moment.
Considering all of this, it is very important
to leave space in your plans to be influenced
by what happens in the moment.
Also known as “Swiss Cheese structure”.
?
|
Balance between the four modes of learning
is crucial for fulfilment and satisfaction.
Without inspiration, you probably will end up
singing alone, sooner or later.
Or not sing at all.
Without feeling, there may be vibrations in the air,
but there won’t be a lot of music.
Without physical awareness, your music won’t
be beautiful.
Without logic, you probably won’t find a sense
of purpose in your practice, nor find a clear
direction forward for your group.
?
|
Ancient wisdom traditions; animism, taoism, ayurveda
– just to name a few.
Inspiration -> Fire
Feeling -> Water
Physical awareness -> Earth
Logic -> Air
Even we who are children of the “modern world”
may understand intuitively the core meaning of the four elements
through direct experience in personal, subjective processes.
Pieces of advice:
• Keywords may be useful for intuitive understanding
of the four elements and their relevance in daily life.
• You may experience a high degree of uncertainty
when you attempt to bridge the gap between subjective
and objective means of understanding.
• Since words have different meanings in different languages,
and since the meaning of words often change over time,
symbolic or creative (as opposed to literal) interpretation
is recommended when you read contemporary literature
based on ancient wisdom traditions.

One focus target at a time
|
There are five main focus targets:
Rhythm, Intonation, Sound & Blend, Expression
and Stage presentation.
RHYTHM is physical movement with a sense of
pulse,and with a bodily feeling of groove.
Rhythm is not an application of mathematics.
INTONATION is a sequence of focused activities,
with the goal to sing in tune.
Singers can learn how to do this with confidence.
Intonation skills is not a talent that you either have
or don't have.
Different music styles require different types
of SOUND. BLENDING is the combined activity
of all singers to adapt their sound to the
expression of others, while singing.
EXPRESSION is how you approach your songs
with personality, interpretation and attitude,
and how the combined intentions of all singers
becomes a collective musical output.
STAGE PRESENTATION is about connection with
each other and with the audience. It begins with
preparation through focused practice.
When you enter the stage, all preparation is over.
?
|
When your focus is rhythm, for example,
then all the other focus targets are not subject
to evaluation. In other words: even if the intonation
may suffer, don’t pay attention to that,
while the rhythm is the focus target.
And vice versa, when intonation is
the focus target, then rhythm is of no concern.
Eventually, singers may learn how to shift attention
between all the focus targets, while singing,
through a continuous activity to move their target point
of focused attention between different musical factors.
To move the target for your musical attention
is also referred to as moving your inner spotlight.
?
|
When you want to achieve musical progress.
?
|
When everyone in the choir are focusing on
improvement of the same musical parameter,
then improvement with that focus target will happen.
For this to work out, it is important to
temporarily ignore the other main focus targets.
Your choir or vocal group won’t function
as a very strong musical team until all singers
are comfortable with each of the five main focus targets:
Rhythm, Intonation, Sound & Blend, Expression
and Stage performance.

One rehearsal item at a time
|
A reminder for you to practise one musical
parameter at a time, and to give feedback
to one rehearsal item at a time.
?
|
1. Choose a short musical excerpt from your
known repertoire; this excerpt is now
the current rehearsal item
2. Apply the principle of a Play It By Voice
practice module to the rehearsal item
3. Repeat a few times until you hear progress
?
|
When a musical challenge requires a concrete solution
?
|
Progress happens when all singers focus on
the same musical parameter at the same time.

See, hear and touch
|
A reminder for you to create exercises
that activate more than one of the senses
at the same time
?
|
Feel free to set up exercises where
change is applied to one musical parameter at a time,
and where the change is referenced by visual,
audiotory and tactile input.
Example exercise: Pitch glide up-down --> unison
?
|
• When you want to practice in a way
that leads to singers practical knowledge
reaching a permanent state.
In other words: that singers remember
what they have learned.
• When you want to do a fundamental reset
of singers’ perception of a musical parameter
?
|
Change of a musical parameter combined with
multiple types of sensory activation
leads to deep and physical understanding
of the musical parameter currently being
the focus target.
When multiple senses are activated,
while musical change is also applied,
then singers may unlock their potential
for embodied knowledge, in a way that simply isn’t
accessible through static types of focus.
This type of practice is very efficient
and leads to high levels of singers' retaining
their learning experiences after a practice session.

About practice modules
|
WHAT?
A Play It By Voice practice module is a
very short musical process, typically with a
duration of 1-3 minutes, that focuses on a
specific musical skill, usually within
one of the main focus targets.
?
|
HOW?
You can either do a Play It By Voice
practice module as a stand-alone exercise,
as presented in a class session or a workshop with me,
as well as in the tutorial section of the
Play It By Voice podcast and blog at Substack
(to be launched in Sept/Oct 2025)
– or you can use the principle of a
Play It By Voice practice module and adapt it
into a solution to a specific musical challenge
with your repertoire.
(See above under One rehearsal item at a time)
?
|
WHEN?
Most Play It By Voice practice modules are set up
to be used either during the warmup
at the beginning of a rehearsal, or as a
pre-exercise to the next song being practised
during a rehearsal of known repertoire.
?
|
Doing the practice modules develops singers'
abilities and skills; one musical factor at a time.
The intention with most practice modules
is to develop singers’ musical skills
as well as their social skills.
Over time, singers will gradually develop
abilities and skills to be sufficiently prepared musically
for the activities of their group.
TIP: this process has no end.
Musical practice is an ongoing type of activity.
?
|
SOURCE?
Where do the practice modules come from?
A common scenario is that new methods emerge
organically, when people interact musically.
In such cases there is no individual creator.
I have learned these practices from various
people, situations and places. A person that I
have learned something from may have learned it
from someone else that I don't know about.
In some cases, I don't know anything about
from whom or from where a practice module originates.
See respective info under Source.
Some practice modules were created by myself,
usually after contemplation about things that
didn't work out in a coaching session, for example.
Later on, in another coaching session, I would try
a new method that requires a new practice module.

|
Reversed pulse reference
|
Rhythm practice module;
internal pulse reference
?
|
1. Walk or clap the pulse,
while doing a rhythm with your voice
2. Do the rhythm with your feet or hands,
while doing the pulse with your voice.
Then repeat 1. and 2.
3. (optional) Walk the pulse and clap the upbeat,
while doing a rhythm with your voice
4. Walk the pulse and do the upbeat with your voice,
while clapping the rhythm
Please note: it’s not important to try to be perfect
when you reverse the pulse reference.
What’s important is to try.
The learning happens when you return to “normal”.
?
|
• During the warmup
• As a pre-exercise to a song with rhythmical issues
?
|
• Become physically aware of the relation
between pulse and subdivisions
• Address eventual issues with unstable tempo
• Develop body awareness
• Develop physical flexibility – in terms of
pulse reference
?

Variable tempo with rotated leadership
|
Rhythm exercise;
external pulse reference
?
|
Loop a short rhythmic phrase from your known repertoire,
along with Step One or Step Two.
The guide makes gradual changes to the tempo,
to be copied and cloned in real time by the other singers.
Rotate the guide role.
?
|
When it’s time to improve singers’ synchronization
?
|
When a guide singer changes the tempo,
then the value of synchronization between singers
becomes obvious.

Intonation exercises
|
|
Three notes, two notes, one note
|
Intonation exercise module;
internal pitch reference
?
|
1. Repeat a few times:
• Play three notes on the piano
• Show the audiation sign
• Singers audiate the three notes
• Singers sing the three notes, on “oo"
2. Repeat a few times:
• Play two notes on the piano
• Show the audiation sign
• Singers audiate the two notes
• Singers sing the two notes, on “oo"
3. Repeat a few times:
• Play one note on the piano
• Show the audiation sign
• Singers audiate the note
• Singers sing the note, on “oo"
?
|
• During the warmup
• or as a pre-exercise to a song with intonation issues
?
|
• activate intonation focus
• make a distinction between audiation of
harmony and audiation of separate notes,
in a concrete way
The latter is important because singers often are
unaware of the audiation phenomenon, and therefore
confuse different types of audiation. With the effect
that they may be unable to differentiate between a root,
a fifth and a third of a chord, for example.
?
|
|
|
Pitch Darts
|
Intonation practice module
for micro-second preparation
?
|
1. Play a staccato note on the piano
2. Singers sing the same note; syllable: "Pa"
Then repeat 1. and 2.
Be mindful about the speed between notes
that singers are able to accomplish. Try with
larger and larger intervals between notes.
?
|
• During the warmup
• or as a pre-exercise to a song with
intonation issues
?
|
In this exercise, it is impossible for singers
to think and evaluate, while singing, the note
or phrase that they just sang.
Purpose of this exercise: to develop singers’ habit
to constantly have their attention directed forward,
towards the next note or phrase:
Aim - Sing - Forget
?
|
|
|
Pitch glide up-down --> unison
|
Intonation practice module
?
|
The leader sings on “mm” a note
whose pitch glides up and down between
a low and a high pitch, while also showing
the pitch change with the hand and the arm.
All singers sing along with the leader.
The leader stops singing at a sustained note
sung in unison by everyone.
?
|
• During the warmup
• or as a pre-exercise to a song with
intonation issues
• or as an intro to the exercise Big cluster,
small cluster
?
|
Changing the pitch activates singers'
physical awareness of pitch, especially
when given simultaneous references to pitch:
visual, audiotory and tactile (see, hear,
and touch).
?
|
|
|
Big cluster, small cluster
|
Intonation practice module
?
|
Two ways to start:
1 - start from a unison note sung by everyone.
2 - start from a big cluster, then slowly move
your hands to indicate a unison note.
Singers will have to negotiate which note
to be sung in unison.
Big cluster: one hand held high, the other hand
held low. Singers pick a random note, high or low.
Then you move your hands to the same level,
indicate that a previously agreed target note
shall be sung in unison.
Small cluster: a small movement with the fingers
on both hands that indicate for singers to sing
slightly out of tune; sharp or flat, within
a quarter note or so. Then return to
both hands held flat, to indicate that the agreed
target note shall be sung in unison.
?
|
• During the warmup
• or as a pre-exercise to a song with intonation issues
?
|
• Reinforcement of internal reference to pitch
• Reinforcement of individual responsibility
for intonation
• Heightened awareness and reinforced ability
for precise, fine-tuned intonation
To hold a reference note in your audiation
(the target unison note), while singing a different note
as part of a cluster, emphasises the importance
of audiation and preparation as an ongoing task
in the moment of music-making.
?
|
|
|
Open doors, closed doors
|
Intonation practice module that shows
what audiation is
?
|
Sing a whole song, or a part of it,
that singers know well; unison, homophonic
or polyphonic.
One person indicates with their arms “open doors”
or “closed doors”.
When the doors are open, everyone sings their part.
When the doors are closed, nobody sings –
but the song continues.
After having sung, ask “where does the music go
when you don’t sing?”
?
|
• The first time that you do this exercise,
the main purpose is typically to initiate
awareness of audiation as an intonation tool
available to each individual singer.
• When singers are aware of their capacity
for audiation, then this exercise module is useful
to strengthen singers’ skills in terms of precise intonation,
as practised through specific excerpts
from your current repertoire.
?
|
To reinforce audiotory and physical preparation,
with the goal to reach a high degree of
singing in tune, and ending the song
without having gone flat or sharp.

Floor-Roof practice
|
A basic method for exploration and
embodied understanding of musical parameters
?
|
Singers make changes of a musical parameter
between minimum and maximum values.
?
|
Whenever you want to direct singers’ attention
to a specific musical parameter.
?
|
Without change, there will be status quo,
which is antithetical to musical progress.
Floor Roof practice ensures that singers
get to experience what musical change means,
in a concrete way, one parameter at a time.
Learning by doing.
Through exploration of specific musical
parameters, singers acquire practical knowledge
and musical understanding – one musical
parameter after another.

Guide singer practice
|
A basic method for rotation of
initiative and support
?
|
One singer is given the role of providing
musical initiative – the Guide singer
– while everyone else are assigned the role
of providing musical support.
The role of Guide singer is rotated
between the singers of the choir.
Ultimately, all singers will have experienced
the task of providing musical initiative.
?
|
A common scenario is to combine
Guide singer practice
with Floor-Roof practice.
?
|
Without musical initiative, the music stops.
Someone must take initiative. Without any
guidelines or methods for how to take musical
initiative, chances are that very few group
members will be given this role – which potentially
may lead to status quo, lack of progress, and lack
of inspiration.
Experience has shown that rotated initiative
and support has a positive effect on singers’
social skills, as well as on the unfolding
of constructive group culture.
When support is given by the whole group to the
Guide singer, then instantaneous musical phrasing
and expression is reinforced, along with the current
direction given by the Guide singer.
This type of practice provides a starting point
for musical co-creation, which is a cornerstone
of Play It By Voice pedagogy.

Dynamics (quiet/loud)
|
Floor-Roof practice module
?
|
1. Sing a short song example as quiet as you can,
either a unison melody, or a homophonic arrangement.
2. Then sing the same example as loud as you can.
Before singing loud, say: “Pay attention to how it
feels in your voice. If it hurts – do something else.
If it doesn’t hurt – sing louder.”
Say: “the guide singer is always perfect, by definition”.
3. A guide singer makes changes between
quiet and loud (“floor” and “roof”) and everyone else
copies the expression of the guide singer,
in real time.
?
|
When you have issues with dynamics,
blending or intonation.
?
|
This practice makes it impossible not to
pay attention. Singers simply must listen
to the guide singer and make changes
with their voice.

Voice timbre (dark/bright)
|
Floor-Roof practice module
?
|
1. Sing a short song example with a very bright sound.
2. Then sing the same example with a very dark sound.
3. Then a guide singer makes changes between dark and
bright (“floor” and “roof”) and everyone else copies the
expression of the guide singer, in real time.
?
|
When you have issues with sound, blend
and voice timbre.
?
|
This is a very effective exercise for achieving
a fantastic blend.
With this practice module especially, singers are
likely to find themselves “outside of the box”
in terms of sound & blend.
Chances are that singers’ attention will be
targeted on how weird it sounds, and that they
won’t notice the extent to which they are adjusting
the shape of their voice instruments, which often
can be loaded with physical habits and a static
self-image in terms of how one shapes one's sounds.
Point is: to change the shape of one's voice instrument
is a necessary skill for attainment of unique group sounds.
?

|
|
Vowel pronunciation
|
|
When you hear that singers are spontaneously
matching their pronunciation of vowels
with each other, then point out that
they are doing this.
And then ask them to match their vowels
– on purpose.
?
|
At some point when doing Dynamics,
Voice timbre, or Articulation
Floor-Roof exercises.
?
|
To syncronize pronunciation of vowels
is essential for attaining a fantastic blend.
Singers must adapt the shape of their
voice instruments to achieve this – which
typically happens when you do Floor-Roof
exercises, especially the Voice timbre or
Articulation practice modules.

Real time cloning

Expression practice module
with a guide singer
?
|
Ask the guide singer to sing with her
natural voice, and ask everyone else
to copy and clone the dynamics, voice timbre
and vowel pronunciation of the guide singer.

I recommend that you don’t do this exercise
without first having done a few Floor-Roof
exercises, with focus on specific parameters.
Why? Because experience has shown that
singers may be ready to focus on several
musical parameters simultaneously only after
having done a few Floor-Roof practice modules
in the same rehearsal session.

This practice module provides a concrete
and spontaneous framework for how to build
a unique “library of sounds” for your choir
or vocal group, based on the voices, sounds and
expressions of the individual singers of your choir.
