Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Should stick to notes from the example motif given in point 1 on the Activity: Motif development, moving up by four notes so that they do not need to use sharp or flat notes.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can use their own instruments for the activity (if they are having instrumental lessons) and/or can carry out the extension activity in Activity: Motif development.
