The first one is supposedly ‘mummy’ and the second ‘daddy’. The ‘mummy’ then sings “Mummy’s tapping on the window” followed by the daddy singing “daddy’s knocking at the door”. The students are asked to explore their voices as they sing this as a solo. Exploring their voices to sound different but at the same time matching the pitch and rhythm as they sing.
