Music, Wednesday
The instruments were back in the corner again, and Lana smiled at everyone as they settled. "So far we've been figuring out our instruments on our own, but of course a good deal of music involves more than one instrument. Duos, trios, bands - a lot of music is the result of people working together. You can play a chord on some instruments on their own, but you can also play single notes or related chords on others."
She picked up a page from the pile of music scores at the front. "We've got simple tunes here, and we'd like you to try to play them together. In groups of three for a while, and then we'll pick one and try to do it as a group. Try one as it is, then see if you can embellish a little without changing what everyone else needs to do. Let's practice listening to each other and working together, learning to harmonize and make it sound good."
"And once we get around to doing the whole group, I want you guys to go one after the other," Atton added. "So group A starts, group B and C listen. Group B joins in, group C keeps listening. And then by the end, we'll all play."
He tossed the class something that might have been half a genuine smile. "There's something pretty great about getting in tune with someone else," he said, "Feeling like they've got your back. Musically speaking. I'm hoping some of you people get that feeling today."
He cleared his throat.
"... Or you know, don't, and call the Hallmark police and tell them I said that."

Play Together!
If you want to play with someone in particular, ping in with your group name. Someone else can then ping off of that.
If you'd rather put up a big establishy ping of how you're doing/listening, don't mention the group in your ping.
