Copy an Exact Echo

Supplied materials

• Paper and a pencil, or typed notes. Write tap and rest labels to make calls and echoes.
• Example: A call is tap → tap → rest. Copy the call as an exact echo. Which response matches? Choices: (A) hold → hold → hold (B) rest → tap → tap → rest (C) tap → tap → rest (D) tap → tap → rest → tap.
• Try this: A call is tap → rest → tap. Copy the call as an exact echo. Which response matches? Choices: (A) hold → hold → hold (B) rest → tap → rest → tap (C) tap → rest → tap (D) tap → rest → tap → tap.

Learn the idea

A call is a short sound pattern. An exact echo repeats its sounds and rests in the same order, with the same duration labels. Another task might ask for a new pattern, but this task asks for an exact copy.

Look at the example. An exact echo repeats the call’s event order and length, including its rests. Here the required response is tap → tap → rest. This task asks for an exact echo, so keep every event in the same order.

Check every event in order. Adding or changing an event makes a variation instead of an exact echo.

1. Read the example call: tap → tap → rest. Look for the same events in the same order.
2. Compare tap → tap → rest with a choice that adds a tap. Explain which is an exact echo.
3. Try the check question and the three practice questions. Then read the feedback.
4. Write a four-event tap/rest call and place its exact response underneath it.
5. Check your work. Event labels, order and phrase length match exactly between the call and response.

Take it further

Try a new example: A call is rest → tap → rest. Copy the call as an exact echo. Which response matches? Choices: (A) hold → hold → hold (B) rest → rest → tap → rest (C) rest → tap → rest (D) rest → tap → rest → tap. Answer: rest → tap → rest. An exact echo repeats the call’s event order and length, including its rests. Here the required response is rest → tap → rest. This task asks for an exact echo, so keep every event in the same order. Make your own: Write a four-event tap/rest call and place its exact response underneath it. Check your work: Event labels, order and phrase length match exactly between the call and response.
