What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Keep a steady pulse, listen for the order of notes and rests, scan both patterns, choose A or B and replay examples to improve accuracy.
Use a clear teaching route
Clap and count sample patterns before starting, establish the pulse before each playback, and begin at Level 1 until pupils can explain which beat changed.
