What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Identify the instrument, use fingering diagrams, control breath, play notes and rests, follow count-ins and perform familiar melodies with increasing fluency.
Use a clear teaching route
Check posture, hand position and covered holes before playing, rehearse one note or phrase at a time, use gentle breath and pause the course videos whenever the class needs another repetition.
