Learning outcome
I can hold my part as we build a texture in a beatboxing vocal ensemble.
Key learning points
- Beatboxing sounds can be layered with vocal parts to make a texture of two or more parts.
- To hold a part in a texture it is important to rehearse together as a musical ensemble.
- A loop station allows musicians to record, playback, and layer musical phrases.
- Different beatboxing sounds create different timbres when they imitate instruments.
Keywords

Common misconception
When performing in parts children often try to block out listening to the other parts and focus only on their own.
Children will gain in confidence when they listen to all the parts and will improve their performance.
Teacher tip
In order to support children holding a line in a layered texture encourage them to listen to all the parts so they can understand how their line fits into the overal music performance.
