Description

This unit introduces pupils to the keyboard, providing them with a functional understanding to explore sound and apply musical concepts. They learn to perform short melodies, how to find and play in the C position and how to identify middle C to G on the stave through performance.

Pupils continue to develop their performance skills and how to practise and rehearse. They start to develop keyboard fluency and extend their understanding of melodic shape and phrasing, learning simple approaches to performing with expression. They learn an ABA structured melody developing their sense of how music can be put together successfully.

  1. Playing a melody in the C position on the keyboard
  2. Playing the melody: Ode to Joy
  3. Playing expressively: Ode to Joy
  4. Adding an accompaniment to a melody
