P4 - B5

Articulation and coordination

  • Coordinate the right and left hands at a regular pulse:
    • playing with clarity and fluency at a variety of tempi
    • using a variety of articulations and rhythmic patterns

Encourage learners to explore how a tune or bass line can be played using different articulations. Discuss the musical outcomes.

Focus on developing the accuracy of articulation when playing basic slap and pop bass lines with rhythms of increasing difficulty.
