Teacher Notes

These resources are designed to support listening, performing and composing utilising the skills and knowledge developed in the previous units on Keyboard, however previous experience with this collection is not crucial as this project can still work in isolation.

This unit is designed to be flexible and can be taught over a period of 4-6 weeks – depending on the teaching time available. It includes the following class activities:

• Working in keyboard ‘bands’ over a series of lessons, pupils will choose 1 or more playalongs from the list available to prepare for a ‘Battle of the Bands’ style performance in the final lesson
• As a group, plan their rehearsal and performance of the song using keyboard, either together as an ensemble, or by taking turns to perform sections of the song
• They can also add the vocal parts if you wish to
