Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Can play just one note in the chord – in this instance the note C.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can have a go at playing quavers for the chords – so in the space of one bar they will play eight chords instead of four (see the Teacher video: Playing a chord).
