Keyboard Skills Booklet

This Keyboard Skills booklet is a resource for an entire scheme of work. The aim of the project is for students to pick a piece of music to work on over a set number of lessons, and then be assessed on how well they play it. The students have a range of pieces to choose from, including:

• Hold Yuh (Gyptian)
• River Flows in You (Yiruma (in C))
• Rush E
• You Got a Friend in Me (Toy Story)
• Fur Elise (Beethoven)
• Teri Meri (Indian Bolywood song from the film The Bodyguard)
• How Far I’ll Go (Moana)
• Let me Love You (Mario)

Each piece of music has a page or two of music, including notation for both left and right hands, along with finger numbers to help the student learn to play. There is also some guidance on how to practice.

There is space at the start of the booklet for starter activities, and at the end of the book there is a success criteria, and a feedback sheet for their assessment. Additionally, there is a whole class feedback space to be used part way through the project. A Knowledge organiser at the back of the booklet is also included.
