Beamish's writing is expressive: she introduces a gentle warble to imitate the song of the nightingale while a rippling accompaniment figure suggests the shimmer of peacock feathers.
Another exercise that we call "pick-a-tune" is an entirely "off-road" activity--the student chooses a tune from his or her aural culture (pop tune, folk tune), figures out the melody, then harmonizes it with suitable chords and accompaniment figures.
Accompaniment figures range from open fifths ("Digging for Gold," "Fossils of a Sea Monster") and ostinato patterns with an added sixth (the "western" bass pattern), to free flowing arpeggio figures ("A Night at the Opera," "Desert Lullaby").
