P2 - B4

Coordination and rhythmic awareness

  • Play with a secure pulse:
    • short pieces coordinating and integrating a right-hand melody and left-hand chords (single- and/or full-fingered), and including repeats of their own devising, e.g. an octave higher
    • keeping time with an auto-accompaniment and including simple changes of registration
    • listening to and controlling the balance between melody and accompaniment

Remind learners to work through a structured sequence of activities outlined in programme 1.

Show learners how to make necessary adjustments to accompaniment volume and/or touch response to gain a satisfactory balance between melody and auto-accompaniment.
