**Lesson six in a series of six lessons on musical instruments and instrumental families. Lesson five covers The Keyboard Family This lesson forms part of a series designed to teach children about musical instruments and instrumental families without the need for music resources or specialist musical knowledge. The lessons are designed to be accessible to students from all musical backgrounds. Although the lesson does form part of a series, it can also be used a stand-alone lesson on keyboard instrument and does not need to be used in conjunction with other lessons in the series. This lesson pack contains a presentation and 4 worksheets. Presentation The presentation is best used to teach students about the keyboard family. The lesson presentation is structured as follows: overview of instrument families overview of the keyboard family - key instruments, common features etc. Deeper look at the piano Deeper look at the electric piano / keyboard Three activities The presentation finishes with three different activity suggestions to consolidate knowledge: a written task, and two creative tasks. The presentation includes questions and short activities throughout to allow students to take an active part in their learning. The presentation is long enough and detailed enough that it could be separated across two lessons for lower level learners. If this is the case, I would suggest splitting into two lessons, starting the second lesson with the deeper look at the electric piano / keyboard. Worksheets The lesson pack comes with 4 different worksheets, each a different activity as follows: wordsearch times table sheet unscramble activity fact file writing activity Worksheets come with answers where appropriate. All worksheets except the fact file writing worksheet would make excellent starter or plenary activities to frame the lesson. Where possible, worksheets have a cross-curricular emphasis and are designed to enhance literacy and numeracy skills as well as reinforcing the subject of keyboard instruments.
