What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Hold and care for the instrument, name strings, pluck and strum in time, read chord diagrams, form common chords and build accuracy through repeated exercises.
Use a clear teaching route
Teach silent holding and stop signals before instruments sound, check tuning and hand position, practise one string or chord change slowly, and only add the full strumming pattern when shapes are secure.
