Individual lessons • Print either the portrait or landscape version to suit your student. (If students are in a beginner method with landscape orientation this may be more comfortable for them.) • Have them play the root note of the chord on the piano, Boomwhackers, bells or a glockenspiel while you play the melody. • Swap roles and do the harmony while they play the melody. • After a bit of practice, get them to play hands together. Group lessons • Print either multiple copies of the portrait or landscape versions, or the large version to suit your students and setup. • Set up different stations with pianos, keyboard, bells, Boomwhackers, glockenspiels and any other instruments you have around. • Assign each station to be either the harmony (playing root notes or chords) or the melody. • Rotate around the room so students get to experience each station. LEARNING OBJECTIVE Coloured notation is a great way to allow students of any level to get involved in ensemble playing and learn about rhythm, listening and working as a team. These sheets can also provide a great first introduction to lead sheets.
