Make simple patterns of sound that go up and down in pitch or get louder and quieter
Using melody instruments:
- Make short patterns that go up and down on a keyboard for me to listen to – remember to let me feel what you’re doing if I can’t see
- Now do the same using touchscreen, or beam or gesture-recognition technology
- Make simple patterns using a glockenspiel or xylophone
- Do the same on a wind instrument, such as a recorder
- Make short patterns that go up and down on a string of a ukulele or guitar
- On a single note or chord, start playing quietly, then get louder and louder, and then gradually quieter again
