Tip & Trick #1: Elastic Band Motions
Elastic Band Motions Building Blocks of Intonation
1. High to low Pitch range2. Flat (robot talk) Average pitch3. Falling Falling pitch4. Lift & lengthen Pitch change & duration5. Syllable by syllable Movement of pitch
across syllables

Warm-Up: Elastic Band
Motions
1. You are explaining that the voice has a high and low range. Show it with the elastic band.
2. You are explaining word-level stress. Demonstrate pitch change and duration with the elastic band.
3. Demonstrate falling pitch.
4. Your students are producing vowels that are too short. Provide feedback with the elastic band by showing the length of their vowels in contrast with a longer length.
5. Your students produce ”intonation” in a monotone way. Model the four syllables with demonstrated pitch level for each syllable with the elastic band.
