P4 - B3

Right hand

  • Play with a consistent, satisfying, clear sound across a large range of dynamics:
    • plucking strings with free right-hand and arm movements at a variety of tempi
    • developing the ability to play slap and pop technique independently

Teach learners exercises and pieces using a larger range of notes, incorporating wider string crossings.

Continue to demonstrate good slap and pop technique and provide opportunities for learners to practise this.

Encourage learners to mute strings they are not playing by using the right-hand thumb.

Continue to introduce songs at a faster tempo to increase right hand speed, stamina and accuracy.
