• Fast rock version
• Slow jazz version
A simple starter: students play repeated crotchets on G, with two-bar rests between each phrase.
Two different accompaniment versions are provided for the
same students’ part: fast rock and slow jazz. There are several advantages to this: you can ask students to repeat the piece without their becoming bored or feeling they are just doing it again, while you can check that everyone’s fingering/embouchure/posture is correct. It also introduces students to the idea of listening to the accompaniment while they are playing.
Ask them which version they prefer, and why (there are no correct answers!).
Notes used: G
Key: Fast rock version – concert Db major, Slow jazz version – concert Bb major
Learning points: stave, treble clef, time signature 4/4, note E, crotchet/crotchet rest, whole bar rest, double bar, tempo/style indication
