Answer with one note’s difference. Always resolve to the tonic.
Why this matters: pure echo is mimicry; pure improv is chaos. The middle path — keep the contour, change one scale degree, land on tonic — is where Kodály-style call & response trains generative ear. Vary intentionally, end where it wants to rest.
8 trials. Hear a 3-4 note call; sing a response that includes at least one different scale degree, and ends within ±50¢ of the tonic. Pass = both. 6/8 masters the session.
