Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support:

  • Could play the bass line or chords in pairs to support staying in time.
  • Could play only one note of the bass line (C or F) or one note of each chord to reduce complexity.

Pupils working at greater depth:

  • Should perform as a smaller group of three.
  • Should take responsibility for the performance by maintaining their role and supporting the band to stay in time.
